IBM 866251Y - Netfinity 5500 M20, Hardware Maintenance Manual, Page: 173 / 386

Notes
1. Refer to the documentation that comes with the
adapter for information about required system
resources. Then, make the appropriate jumper
or switch settings on the adapter.
2. If you have a resource conflict, set the resources
that are used by the ISA legacy adapter to [ Plug
and Play ]. This will manually configure the ISA
legacy adapter to that specific server resource.
Once Plug and Play detects that a resource is
not available, it will skip that resource, and
reconfigure to other available system resources.
(See “Plug and Play” on page 31.)
Enabling hot-plug PCI support:
The Netfinity 5500 M20 has hot-plug PCI capability. In
order to enable this feature, you must install the operating
system services for hot-plug PCI support code. To obtain
the operating system hot-plug PCI support code, access
the IBM Web site at:
http://www.ibm.com/support/
Select Intel Processor Based Servers Support. From the
Select family field, select Netfinity 5500 M20. Select
Downloadable files.
Attention
All hot-plug operations must be done through the
operating system console (or supported user
interface). Failure to do this can result in a system
hang or serious damage to the adapter card or system
unit.
Hot-plug PCI adapter installation:
Use the
following information for installing a hot-plug PCI adapter.
If you want to remove a hot-plug adapter, reverse the
steps. If the operating system supports hot-replace PCI
adapters, you can replace a failing hot-plug PCI adapter
with a new adapter of the same type without turning off
power to the server. If the operating system and adapter
also support the hot-add feature, you can install a new
adapter without turning off the power to the server.
The color orange on components or labels in the Netfinity
5500 M20 indicates hot-plug components.
