PREPARING YOUR SYSTEM FOR UPGRADE
Note the following, when installing or replacing devices, to improve the performance of NovaScale/ft Server series.
„ With the NovaScale/ft Server series, devices can be replaced during the continuous operation. Take extreme care for
electric shock and damage to the component due to short-circuit.

installing or removing the optional devices.

management PC on the network. After a new module is installed to the server, enable the module using the Server
Maintenance Utility or the ESMPRO Manager.
TIPS:
The system is defaulted to automatically boot the module, once installed. For more information, see Chapter 5.
