A hard drive can be inserted into a server while it is powered on if the equipment is hot-add or hot-swap capable. This means that the server is designed to allow for the addition or removal of hardware components without the need to power off or restart the system. Hot-add refers to the ability to add a component while the system is running, while hot-swap refers to the ability to remove and replace a component while the system is running. Both of these capabilities ensure uninterrupted operation and increased flexibility in managing hardware components.
