What color tab indicates that hot swap can be performed on a component?

The color tab that indicates that hot swapping can be performed on a component is typically blue. In the context of compatibility with server components, a blue tab is commonly used to signify that the part is hot-swappable. This means it can be replaced without needing to power down the server, which is crucial for maintaining uptime and ensuring continuous operations in environments where availability is critical.

Blue tabs are often found on components such as hard drives and power supplies in many server designs, including those from the EMC PowerEdge line. This design choice aids in clear visual identification, helping users quickly determine which components can be removed or swapped while the system is operational.

The other colors, such as black, red, and orange, are generally used for different functions or signify components that may need to be handled in a powered-off state, thus reinforcing the importance of the blue tab as an indicator of hot-swappable capability.
