We have a FX2 Chassis with three blades and will be adding a fourth. Can the additional blade be added while the system is live in production or does the FX2 Chassis need to be powered off?

You can add new SLED while other SLED's are in power on state. You can refer below link for steps to installing new SLED.

Thank you for the reply. Can PCIe cards for the new Sled also be added to the FX2 Chassis while it is running?

While adding or removing PCIe module you need to ensure the SLED to which is assigned is in off state. You can refer below link for more details
