Hot-swap

Hot swapping or hot plugging is the ability to remove and replace components of a server while it is operating. Particularily useful for replacing hard discs, a hot-swap server case gives the opportunity to unplug a default disc and plug a new one without stopping the system. This option is highly recommended to avoid interruptions of service due to hard disc failure.
