8 Hot-plug components This chapter explains how to handle the hot-plug components within the Customer-Self-Service (CSS) concept and how to make hardware changes to your system unit in general (e.g. adding or replacing hot-plug power supply units or hot-plug fan modules). I Further information on the CSS concept is provided in the "Customer Self Service (CSS)" manual on the ServerView Suite DVD 2. Expansions and upgrades may only be carried out by authorized specialist personnel.

The basic configuration of the BX400 S1 system unit contains one management blade.
Hot-plug components 8.4 Hot-plug power supply units The BX400 S1 system unit has 4 bays for hot-plug power supply units (PSU 1-4). The power supply units adapt automatically to any voltage within the range 100 V - 127 V / 200 V - 240 V. All bays for power supply units are fitted with flaps which close automatically. This ensures sufficient cooling of the system components when you replace a power supply unit or fan module during operation. The PSU bays must be fitted according to their numbering.
