Installing a hot-plug adapter (slots 5 and 6)
This section contains the procedure for installing a hot-plug PCI or PCI-X adapter. If
your operating system supports hot-plug PCI or PCI-X adapters, you can replace a
failing hot-plug PCI or PCI-X adapter with a new adapter of the same type without
turning off power to the server. If your operating system and adapter also support
the hot-add feature, you can install a new adapter without turning off the power to
the server.
Notes:
1. Although an optional Integrated xSeries Adapter (IXA) can be installed only in
slots 5 and 6, it is not a hot-plug adapter. See “Installing a non-hot-plug adapter
(any slot)” on page 61 for instructions for installing an IXA adapter.
2. Do not remove a hot-plug adapter before performing the operating-system-
defined procedure for disabling the Active PCI-X (hot-plug) slot that contains the
adapter. Failure to do so might cause your system to lock up. See your
operating-system documentation for additional information.
3. You do not have to turn off the server to install hot-plug adapters in the hot-plug
slots. However, you must turn off the server when performing any steps that
involve installing or removing cables.
The following illustration shows how to install a PCI or PCI-X hot-plug adapter.

Complete the following steps to install a hot-plug PCI or PCI-X adapter:
1. Review the information in “Installation guidelines” on page 41, “Handling
static-sensitive devices” on page 42, and “Safety information” on page 163.
2. If you are installing an adapter that requires you to install or remove any
cables, turn off the server and disconnect all power cords and external cables
(“Turning off the server” on page 9).
3. Remove the server cover (see “Removing the server left-side cover and bezel
(tower model)” on page 51 or “Removing the server top cover and bezel (rack
configuration)” on page 53).
4. Determine which expansion slot you will use for the adapter.
