Any machine in a company needs to be able to be unplugged and thrown out of a window, without leading to significant data loss, only the inconvenience of the price of a new machine and setup time.
There are very few machines in the world that are actually mission critical, and you might not be able to do that (although for them, you can probably switch components with it still running). Anybody else, you are just betting your company on the lack of fires, hardware failure, etc.
