7.4.2 Inactive removal


7.4.2 Inactive removal
This section describes the workflows for inactive/hot and inactive/cold FRU removal. References to detailed descriptions are written in the workflow. See any of them as required. You can perform inactive removal work only for a system with a building block configuration.
Inactive removal has the following patterns:
Inactive/hot removal (for an internal disk or PCIe card)
Inactive/hot removal can be performed on an internal disk and a PCIe card. Perform the following procedure to remove the unit.
