3. Push the board into the card cage, then simultaneously press both extraction
levers to seat the board on the centerplane.
Pushing both levers simultaneously avoids twisting the board and bending the
connector pins, and mates the board centerplane connector to the matching
receptacle on the centerplane. Do not press on board front panel to seat it—doing so
will damage the connector pins.
4. Mechanically lock the board to the system chassis by inserting a Phillips #1
screwdriver into each quarter-turn access slot and then turning to the locked
position (
FIGURE 4-7
).
5. Replace or connect all necessary cables to the front of the board.
Note –
The I/O+ board in slot 1 controls the internal media tray devices. Therefore,
the external SCSI connector on the I/O+ board in slot 1 of a system must be
terminated with a SCSI terminator (
FIGURE 4-3
).
6. Terminate the board SCSI connector if required, see above note.
7. Once the board has been installed, a message similar to the following will be
displayed on the monitor (if the system is powered on):
The example depicts screen output when a new I/O+ board has been hot-plugged
into slot 6 of an operating Enterprise system:
This screen output indicates that the board has been detected by the system and is in
the low power mode. Additionally, any subsequent
prtdiag(1M)
output would
include information for board slot 6. Again, note that the system will not use the
new board until the system is rebooted.
8. Reboot the system now or schedule a later time to reboot when system disruption
will be minimized.
