In the vast majority of cases restarting the device server or management server will not cause any impacts on traffic passing through the dataplane. These two processes are major parts of the management plane processing on the device.
The management server is the core process that is used to run the CLI, web UI, work with the configuration files, and perform most operations on the management plane through other processes. The device server is used for communication between the MP and DP. It's main job is to push configurations to the DP during the commit process and also service some requests coming from the DP such as URL categorization.
It might be best to schedule the restarts during a maintenance window to minimize impact.
