Flowchart: Moving a System Board

The flow of DR operations and the transition of system board status when a system
board has been moved or reserved for a move are described in the schematic
flowchart, below.

Each system board status indicated in

FIGURE 2-7

is the main status that is changed.

For the flow of system board addition processing or deletion processing and the
related system board status, see

Section 2.4.3.1, “Flowchart: Adding a System Board”
