Removal and Installation Procedures
This chapter describes removal and installation procedures for enclosure elements.
Handling Enclosure Elements
This section describes two replacement methods used during removal and installation
procedures and the electrostatic discharge (ESD) procedures that coincide with handling
enclosure elements.
Element Replacement Methods
Elements follow either a hot-pluggable or a pluggable power-on replacement method. The
definitions for each are as follows:
■
Hot-pluggable — Allows replacing an element without removing enclosure power or
hindering enclosure operations.
■
Pluggable — Allows replacing an element without removing enclosure power, but
requires quiescing the affected data buses.
