Are blade3s in a Cluster Box hot-pluggable?

[srcshelton]

I’ve got a fully-populated Cluster Box in which one node isn’t booting correctly - right now if I use nodectl console -n 1 to see any serial output and then do nodectl reboot -n 1 (or nodectl poweroff -n 1 - which is accepted but not documented - and then nodectl poweron -n 1), I see nothing in the serial output.

Can I simply unscrew the two captive screws on the front and temporarily remove the blade3 to physically disconnect it from power, or would this be likely to cause damage if the BMC and other nodes are still powered and running?

I guess that this answers my question:

Network errors when booting up a Mixtile Blade 3 as cluster node

Dear Jacek, From the description of the device phenomenon, I know that when you restart one of blade3, other devices are abnormal. Since the device does not support hotplugging at present, the restart of a single block device will affect the normal use of other devices. The correct way is to restart the whole device, and we are also trying to optimize this part, so as to provide the best use experience.
