PCI Adapters
Before performing this procedure, read “Safety Notices” on page xi.
Notes:
1. Some PCI adapter cards are shipped from the manufacturer with a blue handle or
support along the back edge of the card. To use in this system unit, you
must
remove the blue handle or support from the card.
2. With this system, you can install PCI adapters with the power on. These adapters
are referred to as
hot-pluggable PCI adapters. Some adapters are not
hot-pluggable, and the system must be powered off for this type of adapter
installation.
Before you install the adapter, determine if the PCI adapter you are installing is
hot-pluggable. See the
PCI Adapter Placement Reference, order number SA38-0538.
If you are removing a PCI adapter that is:
v
Non-hot-pluggable, go to “Non-Hot-Pluggable PCI Adapter Removal” on page 374.
v
Hot-pluggable, go to “Hot-Pluggable PCI Adapter Removal” on page 379.
PCI Hot-Plug Manager Access
The installation instructions for hot-pluggable PCI adapters refer you to these
procedures when it is appropriate to perform them.
Note: A PCI adapter is only hot-pluggable if the PCI adapter is supported for hot-plug
applications. See the
PCI Adapter Placement Reference, order number
SA38-0538, for complete information regarding your PCI adapter.
Accessing Hot-Plug Management Functions
Note: Removing or installing a hot-pluggable PCI adapter requires the system
administrator to take the PCI adapter offline prior to performing the operation.
Before taking an adapter offline, the devices attached to the adapter must be
taken offline as well. This action prevents a service representative or user from
causing an unexpected outage for system users.
For additional information about taking an adapter offline or removing it from the
system configuration, see the
AIX System Management Guide: Operating
System and Devices. This publication is available at the following Web address:
http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/aix/library/
. Select Technical Publications.
This publication is also contained on the AIX Documentation CD. The
documentation is made accessible by loading the documentation CD onto the
hard disk or by mounting the CD in the CD-ROM drive.
