Boarding with engines running

Typically alternate pucks in the calipers will be powered by different
hydraulic systems. The parking brake will use one set of pucks.
So setting the parking brake in a large aircraft has some of the same
disadvantages as in a small aircraft, if hydraulic pressure is being
maintained.
Did you retrack the gear into the wheel-wells with elevated temperatures?
That could be a major fire hazard.
Unfortunately, yes. I only found out that the brakes were very hot by
accident, and I was well into my departure by then.
