Removing and Replacing a Hot-Pluggable PCI/PCI-X Card

PCI/PCI-X cards are located on the I/O board assembly. Two of these cards are dedicated to core I/O functions
and require that the server be powered off for card replacement. Core I/O cards have designated slots on the
I/O board assembly. The remaining eight PCI/PCI-X cards are hot-pluggable. Software intervention is
required prior to removing a PCI/PCI-X card. This section describes the following hot-plug operations and
PCI/PCI-X card replacement procedures:
• PCI/PCI-X Configurations
Describes PCI/PCI-X capabilities and relates card functions and capabilities to specific slots.
• Online Addition (OLA)
Describes the installation of new PCI/PCI-X expansion cards in previously empty slots without powering
down the server.
• Online Replacement (OLR)
Describes the replacement of a PCI/PCI-X card without powering down the server. This action requires
suspending the associated driver. The existing driver for the old card must be compatible with the new
card.
