Removing a Hot-Pluggable PCI Adapter
Attention: The Linux operating system does not support these hot-plug procedures. Also, Linux does not
support hot-plugging any hot-pluggable PCI adapters. Systems with Linux installed on one or more
partitions must be shutdown and powered off before replacing any PCI adapter or device assigned to a
Linux partition. Follow the non-hot-pluggable adapter procedures when replacing a PCI adapter or device
in any partition with Linux installed.
Note: If you are removing an adapter and replacing it with an adapter that is identical to the adapter that
was removed, use the procedure “Replacing a Hot-Pluggable PCI Adapter” on page 116.
To remove an adapter, perform the following steps:
1. Open the door of the rack.
2. Determine the slot from which you are removing the adapter.
3. Ensure that any processes or applications that might use the adapter are stopped.
Note: 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 also be taken offline. 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 .
Documentation for the AIX operating system is available from the IBM

operating system, including system-management and end-user documentation.
