Working inside the server with the power on
The server is designed with features that make it highly available. These features are
hot-add and hot-plug devices. Hot-plug devices allow you to replace the device
without turning off the server. Hot-add devices allow you to add an identical device
without turning off the server. In the past you would need to turn off the server and
disconnect power to perform these operations. With the hot-plug features, you can
remove the top cover of the server with the power on.
The server supports hot plug, hot add, and hot swap devices and is designed to
operate safely while turned on with the top cover removed. The server is designed to
protect you and the server. Follow these guidelines when you work inside a server
that is turned on:
• Avoid loose-fitting clothing on your forearms. Button long-sleeved shirts before
working inside the server; do not wear cuff links while you are working inside the
server.
• Do not allow your necktie to hang inside the server.
• Remove jewelry, such as bracelets, necklaces, rings, and loose-fitting wrist
watches.
• Remove items from your shirt pocket (such as pens or pencils) that could fall into
the server as you lean over it.
• Take care to avoid dropping any metallic objects, such as paper clips, hair pins, or
screws, into the server.
