Maintaining Physical Machines

You can maintain PMs in an everRun system by adding or replacing various components or even the entire PM.

Determine what component needs to be replaced and then read the topic for the appropriate procedure:

• To add or replace PM components, see:
  • Adding or Replacing Hot-Swappable Components for hot-swappable components such as network cables, fans, and power supplies
  • Adding or Replacing Components That Are Not Hot-Swappable for components such as CPUs and memory or any other component that is not hot-swappable.
  • Adding a New NIC for adding new network interface cards (NICs).

• To replace a PM or a failed motherboard, NIC, or RAID controller, see Replacing Physical Machines, Motherboards, NICs, or RAID Controllers.

• To upgrade both PMs in a running system, see Upgrading Both Physical Machines In a Running System.
