It's a "bug" (perhaps fixed by now) and in all likelihood, if you're
doing that, you'll get bitten eventually.

A recent advisory sent to all SGI support personnel said:

        DO NOT PLUG/UNPLUG the keyboard or mouse while the [Onyx or
        Power Onyx] is powered on. Keyboard and mouse power is
        fused, plugging and unplugging risks these fuses. Bring
        spare fuses.
