4 Removing and Installing User Serviceable
Components
A user can remove and install two components. They are:
Hot-swappable SCSI hard drives
Hot-pluggable PCI add-in boards
The term hot-swap describes the process of removing and installing a system component
WITHOUT shutting down the server. The term hot-plug describes the same process for
PCI components only.
When removing and installing the hot-plug and hot-swap components described in this chapter, a
user DOES NOT have to shut down the server.
WARNINGS
Hazardous conditions, power subsystem: Hazardous voltage, current,
and energy levels are present inside the power subsystem. There are no
user-serviceable parts inside it; servicing should be done by technically
qualified personnel.
The total power requirement for the SRKA4 MP Server System exceeds
the 240 VA energy hazard limit that defines an operator-accessible area.
Only qualified service technicians should access the processor, memory,
power subsystem, and non hot-plug/hot-swap areas of the SKA4
baseboard.
CAUTION
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) and ESD protection: ESD can damage
hard drives, add-in boards, and other components. This server can withstand
normal levels of environmental ESD while you are hot-swapping SCSI hard
drives. However, Intel recommends doing all procedures in this manual
only at an ESD-protected workstation. If one is not available, provide some
ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap attached to chassis
ground of the server—any unpainted metal surface—when handling
components.
