I am sure this must sound weird for most of the people around here. I have an HPZ600 server class machine which runs Windows Server 2008 R2. Is it safe to plugin an additional hard disk while it's on

While W2K8R2 certainly does support hot-swap/add disk functionality that ability is not listed as a feature of the Z600, nor does it figure in any of the specs for the various supported disks for that system.
By the way the Z600 is NOT a server class machine, not in the least - it doesn't even allow for dual power supplies. This is one reason why they never bothered to put hot-swap features in it - in fact the Z600 is very specifically called a "Z600 Workstation".
