Your server contains hardware that enables you to replace a failed hard disk drive
without turning off the server. Therefore, you have the advantage of continuing to
operate your system while a hard disk drive is removed or installed. These drives
are known as hot-swap drives. The hot-swap drives are attached to a hot-swap
hard disk drive backplane. The backplane is a printed circuit board behind the drive
