Add a PCI Hot-Plug Adapter
Allows the user to add a new PCI hot-plug-capable adapter to the slot with the system
turned on. You will be asked to identify the PCI slot that you have selected prior to the
actual operation. The selected PCI slot will go into the action state and finally into the
on state.
Note: The system will indicate the slot holds an
unknown
device until you perform the
Install/Configure Devices Added After IPL option to configure the adapter.
Replace/Remove a PCI Hot-Plug Adapter
Allows the user to remove an existing adapter, or replace an existing adapter with an
identical one. For this option to work, the adapter must be in the defined state (see
“Unconfigure a Device” option below).
You will be asked to identify the PCI slot prior to the actual operation. The selected PCI
slot will go into the action state.
Identify a PCI Hot-Plug Slot

state. See “I/O Drawer PCI Slot LED Definitions” on page 29.
Unconfigure a Device
Allows the user to put an existing PCI adapter into the defined state if the device is no
longer in use.
This step must be completed successfully before starting a removal or replacement
operation. If this step fails, the customer must take action to release the device.
Configure a Defined Device

already available for the adapter. The selected PCI slot will go into the on state.
