There are three types of system board components that can be added and deleted by

DR: CPU, memory, and I/O device.

FIGURE 2-1 and FIGURE 2-2 show examples of a

system board of a midrange server that is divided into one Uni-XSB, and into Quad-

XSBs.

FIGURE 2-3 and FIGURE 2-4 show examples of a system board of a high-end

server that is divided into one Uni-XSB, and into Quad-XSBs.

Note – Due to diagnostic requirements, the DR function works only on boards that

have at least one CPU and memory.
