9.1 Maintenance Policy / Preventive Maintenance
This section describes the maintainability and preventive maintenance in the PRIMEQUEST 2000 series.
Maintainability
In the PRIMEQUEST 2000 series, hot maintenance can be applied to a PSU and fan while the system is
running. The PCI Hot Plug function can also be used to enable hot maintenance of HHD and PCI Express
card, thereby achieving high maintainability.
Maintenance can be done from the front or rear for various components like SB, IOU, MMB, PSU, fan unit
and DU. Therefore, the devices need not be pulled out from the rack.
