Element Replacement

The methods used to replace an element depend upon several factors. The primary factors
are:

Could element replacement affect SCSI bus operation?
When the element being replaced does not interrupt data transfer nor affect the
operation of another element, the element is “hot-pluggable.”

If replacement of the element could affect data transfers or the operation of another
element, the element replacement method is “pluggable.”

Are there any personal safety issues involved?
Whenever there is an issue involving personal safety, such as an electrical hazard, then
the element replacement requires quiescing the SCSI bus and removing power from the
enclosure.

Table 1–1 identifies the replacement method and type of replacement for each element.
