2.9Hot-Swapping the Netra CP3260 Blade Server

The Netra CP3260 blade server supports hot-swapping at the blade server level.

Note – Before hot-swapping the blade server, the system administrator should gracefully shutdown the applications and operating system, and deactivate the blade server. After the blade server is replaced, the system administrator should activate the new blade server.

The blue Hot-Swap LED, located on the front panel of the Netra CP3260 blade server (FIGURE 1-1), blinks when a hot-swap is initiated, and lights steadily when the blade server is ready to be removed from the system.

Unlatching the bottom latch on the Netra CP3260 blade server initiates the hot-swap sequence. The LED lights steadily when the blade server can be safely removed from the system. The reverse is true when a Netra CP3260 blade server is installed into the system. Once the Netra CP3260 blade server is installed into the system and the bottom latch is latched, the blue Hot-Swap LED blinks until the blade server is ready and then turns off. The green LED lights steadily when the blade server is ready.
