Re: Cards Not Hot Swap in 720 Power7 CPU Chassis ( CEC )

wow, are we back to the old days where removing a screw forced a shutdown?
I think it was a 40S or maybe 620 that had those safeties...
Jolly good times when someone wanted to change a bloody ethernet cable.

But, since i havent touched power6 or 7 hardware i wasnt all that
aware of p6's hotswap capabilities.

Yes. This is true for 710, 720, 730, and 740 and both the 'B' and 'C'
generations. ***DO NOT REMOVE*** the cover while operating or you'll be
able to remove the cards.... because the power will shut off and do so
real sudden-like. (oops!)  IBM chose not to include that capability in
the low end machines.

If you have expansion units such as 5802 or 5877 those units support
concurrent maintenance.
