CAUTION:
Observe all ESD safety precautions before attempting this procedure. Failure to
follow ESD safety precautions could result in damage to the server.

PCI/PCI-X Cards
PCI/PCI-X I/O cards can be removed and replaced by using the SAM (
/usr/sbin/sam
)
application or by using Partition Manager (
/opt/parmgr/bin/parmgr
).
This procedure describes how to perform an online replacement of a PCI/PCI-X card using SAM,
for cards whose drivers support online add or replacement (OLAR).
IMPORTANT:
Some PCI/PCI-X I/O cards cannot be added or replaced online (while HP-UX
remains running). For these cards, you must shut down HP-UX on the nPartition before
performing the card replacement or addition. See
“Powering Off Hardware Components and
Powering On the Server” (page 142)
.
Installing the New LAN/SCSI Core I/O PCI-X Card(s)
IMPORTANT:
The new LAN/SCSI Core I/O PCI-X cards must be installed in slot 8 in both IO
Chassis 1 and 0 of the PCI-X backplane. When a SCSI RAID PCI-X card is installed, you must
follow the RAID card manufacturer’s instructions for supported backplane slot locations.
Previous versions of the 2-cell server LAN/SCSI Core I/O cards (rx7620/rp7420) were installed
in the PCI backplane in IO Chassis 0, slot 1 and IO Chassis 1, slot 8.
The rx7620/rp7420 configuration is not supported in the rx7640/rp7440 servers.
The new LAN/SCSI Core I/O PCI-X card(s) must be installed in the following order:
1.
If the system will be configured with one Core I/O card set, the LAN/SCSI card must be
installed in PCI-X IO Chassis 1, slot number 8. This slot is reserved for the primary Core I/O
LAN/SCSI card.
