Replacing a Hot-Pluggable PCI Adapter
Notes:
1. Use this procedure only when you are replacing an adapter with an identical
adapter. If you are replacing an adapter with an adapter that is not identical to the
adapter removed, go to “Hot-Pluggable PCI Adapter Removal” on page 379 and
“Installing a Hot-Pluggable PCI Adapter” on page 388.
2. Removing a hot-pluggable PCI adapter requires the system administrator to take the
PCI adapter offline before performing any PCI adapter hot-plug procedures. 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.
To replace a hot-plug PCI adapter, do the following:
1. On a Model 6C4, open the front and rear rack doors and place the system into the
service position as described in “Placing the Model 6C4 into the Service Position”
on page 355.
On a Model 6E4, open the bezel door.
2. Remove the service access cover as described in “Service Access Cover Removal
(Model 6C4)” on page 357 or “Service Access Cover Removal (Model 6E4)” on
page 363.
3. Refer to the
PCI Adapter Placement Reference, order number SA38-0538, for
information regarding slot restrictions for adapters that can be used in this system.
4. Before handling any card, board, or memory DIMM, be sure to use your
electrostatic discharge strap to minimize static-electric discharge. Refer to
“Handling Static-Sensitive Devices” on page 348.
5. Determine the slot from which you are removing the adapter.
6. Ensure that any processes or applications that might use the adapter are stopped.
7. Refer to “PCI Hot-Plug Manager Access” on page 371, and follow the steps in the
access procedure to select PCI Hot Plug Manager. Then return here to continue.
8. Select Unconfigure a Device and press Enter.
Note: If the adapter or device has a problem that prevents it from being replaced
by hot-plug, it must be replaced by shutting down the system. Go to
“Adding or Replacing a Non-Hot-Pluggable PCI Adapter” on page 377.
9. Press F4 to display the Device Names menu.
10. From the menu, select the adapter you are removing.
11. Use the tab key to answer YES to Keep Definition and YES to set Unconfigure
Child Devices. Press Enter.
