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. See
Power Off the Server (Server Power Button - Graceful) for instructions.
The following table identifies the components in each category.
