6.1 Adding Hot-Pluggable and Hot-
Swappable Devices
Hot-pluggable devices, such as hard drives, require administration during
installation.
Hot-swappable devices, such as USB devices, can be connected to, and disconnected
from, the system while the system is running.
Other components and devices require you to shut down the system prior to
installation. See
6.1.1

Adding a Hard Drive to the Server

Hard drives are physically addressed according to the slot in which they are
installed. Depending on the server model, the hard drives might be connected to a
PCI-X SAS controller card, or connected to a drive controller that is built into the
Section 6.2, "Adding Components Inside the Chassis" on page 6-4.
