Replacing Hot-Swappable and Hot- Pluggable Components

This chapter describes how to remove and replace the hot-swappable and hot- pluggable field-replaceable units (FRUs) in the Sun Blade T6320 server module.

The following topics are covered:

■Section 3.1, “Hot-Pluggable Hard Drives” on page 3-1

■Section 3.2, “Hot-Plugging a Hard Drive” on page 3-1

■Section 3.3, “Adding PCI ExpressModules” on page 3-5

3.1Hot-Pluggable Hard Drives

Hot-pluggable devices are those devices that can be removed and installed while the system is running, but you must perform administrative tasks first. The Sun Blade T6320 server module hard drives can be hot-swappable (depending on how they are configured).

For information about a hot-swappable or hot-pluggable PCI ExpressModule (PCI EM) or network express module (NEM), see the service manual for your modular system chassis.

3.2Hot-Plugging a Hard Drive

The hard drives in the Sun Blade T6320 server module are hot-pluggable, but this capability depends on how the hard drives are configured.
