Component Service
Categories
The server components and assemblies that can be replaced
in the field fall into three categories:
Hot-service, replaceable
by customer
Cold-service, replaceable by customer
Cold-service, replaceable by authorized service
personnel
Cold service procedures require that you shut the server down
and unplug the power cables that connect the power supplies to the
power source.
Although hot service procedures can be performed while the
server is running, you should usually bring it to standby mode as
the first step in the replacement procedure. Refer to Power Off the Server (Power Button - Graceful) for instructions.
The following table identifies the components in each category.
