1-8 Node Hot-Swapping
The X7SPT-DF-D525 supports cable-free node hot-swapping when installed in a
Supermicro 2U Twin
2
Server chassis together with the cable-free hot-swap adapter
(both sold separately). Node hot-swapping enables the user to replace a mother-
board in a multi-node server without powering down the entire system. However,
cable-free node hot-swapping allows node hot-swapping without the tedious task
of unplugging and plugging back all the supporting cables between the chassis and
motherboard. This is done by mounting the motherboard on a tray and attaching
the tray's adapter to the motherboard. The adapter has a connector on its end
that plugs into the server's backplane. This serves as the connection between the
motherboard and all the components mounted in the chassis. Thus the term 'cable-
free'. It also enables the motherboard to easily slide in and out of the chassis for
easy maintenance. See the figure below for more information.
