Yes. Server boot times are long. Enterprise level NICs and hard drive controllers do a lot of checking at startup.

Historically, there were Sun servers that could hot swap CPUs. X86 can't do that, though.

Many that weren't based on x86 microcompters could do this: Tandem, I mean, Compaq, I mean HP NonStop machines, Sun Ultra Enterprise as you mentioned, IBM s390 and System-Z, several HPUX systems, I'm sure there's others.
