    For components that are not hot-serviceable, Guided Maintenance sends a request to bring the Controller offline and automatically initiate failover. Guided Maintenance also displays an HTML link that you use to access the instructions for component replacement.

    For hot-serviceable components, Guided Maintenance completes the process of preparing the system for component replacement and displays the Replace Hardware dialog. The Replace Hardware dialog instructs you to replace the component. You also receive a System Alert informing you that the component is ready for removal. To review System Alerts, navigate to System > Alerts and Events > System Alerts.
