Major  components  of  the  server 
Blue  on  a  component  indicates  touch  points,  where  you  can  grip  the  component  to 
remove  it  from  or  install  it  in  the  server,  open  or  close  a  latch,  and  so  on. 
Orange  on  a  component  or  an  orange  label  on  or  near  a  component  indicates  that 
the  component  can  be  hot-swapped,  which  means  that  if  the  server  and  operating 
system  support  hot-swap  capability,  you  can  remove  or  install  the  component  while 
the  server  is  running.  (Orange  can  also  indicate  touch  points  on  hot-swap 
components.)  See  the  instructions  for  removing  or  installing  a  specific  hot-swap 
component  for  any  additional  procedures  that  you  might  have  to  perform  before  you 
remove  or  install  the  component. 
The  following  illustrations  show  the  major  components  in  the  server.
