Major Components Of The Server - IBM System x3950 E Installation Manual

Major components of the server

Blue on a component indicates touch points, where you can grip the component to
remove it from or install it in the server, open or close a latch, and so on.
Orange on a component or an orange label on or near a component indicates that
the component can be hot-swapped, which means that if the server and operating
system support hot-swap capability, you can remove or install the component while
the server is running. (Orange can also indicate touch points on hot-swap
components.) See the instructions for removing or installing a specific hot-swap
component for any additional procedures that you might have to perform before you
remove or install the component.
