2.9 Hot-Swapping the Netra CP3260 Blade
Server
The Netra CP3260 blade server supports hot-swapping at the blade server level.
Note Before hot-swapping the blade server, the system administrator should
gracefully shutdown the applications and operating system, and deactivate the
blade server. After the blade server is replaced, the system administrator should
activate the new blade server.
The blue Hot-Swap LED, located on the front panel of the Netra CP3260 blade server
(
FIGURE 1-1), blinks when a hot-swap is initiated, and lights steadily when the blade
server is ready to be removed from the system.
Unlatching the bottom latch on the Netra CP3260 blade server initiates the hot-swap
sequence. The LED lights steadily when the blade server can be safely removed from
the system. The reverse is true when a Netra CP3260 blade server is installed into
the system. Once the Netra CP3260 blade server is installed into the system and the
bottom latch is latched, the blue Hot-Swap LED blinks until the blade server is ready
and then turns off. The green LED lights steadily when the blade server is ready.
FIGURE 2-9 shows the hot-swap latch and Hot-Swap LED.
