Replacing a Non-Hot-Pluggable PCI Adapter: Replace the adapter using the following procedure:
Note: Because the adapter you are installing is not hot-pluggable, shut down the system and remove
power before performing this procedure.
1. Depress the handle release lever of the PCI adapter cassette to release the latch, then lower the
handle completely.
2. When the handle is completely lowered, push the locking bar.
3. Hold the assembly straight on and level with the slot.
4. Align the bottom edge of the PCI cassette cover with the PCI adapter guide rail on the I/O backplane.
Note: If there is a cassette to the left of the one you are installing, align the ridge on the cover with
the "tick" in the notch of the neighboring cassette.
5. Slide the cassette partially into the guide.
6. Ensure the dovetail on the top track aligns with its mating component(s) on both sides.
7. When the cassette is fully inserted, prepare to activate the handle by lowering the locking bar. Lift the
handle all the way up until you hear a click. The PCI adapter should be completely seated.
Note: To insert the adapter correctly, some minor forward or backward movement of the PCI adapter
cassette might be necessary.
8. Set the color slide to blue.
9. Connect power to the system, and turn on the power as described in "Stopping and Starting the
System" on page 42.
10. Ensure that the adapter is configured when the system completes the boot process.
Hot-Pluggable PCI Adapter: Before performing the following procedure, read "Safety Notices" on page
vii.
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 shut down and powered off before replacing any PCI adapter assigned to a Linux
partition. Follow the non-hot-pluggable adapter procedures when replacing a PCI adapter in any partition
with Linux installed.
The following hot-plug procedures take you through removing and replacing hot-plug PCI adapters using
software that presents procedures on your display. The LEDs on a PCI adapter cassette are described in
"I/O Subsystem PCI-X Slot LED Definitions" on page 2.
