Removing a Hot-Pluggable PCI Adapter: If you are permanently removing an adapter from a system, this
procedure should be used.
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.
Note: If you are removing an adapter and replacing it with an adapter that is identical to the adapter that
was removed, use the "Removing and Replacing a Hot-Pluggable PCI Adapter" on page 53
procedure.
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 as well. This
action prevents a service representative or user from causing an unexpected outage for
system users.
For more information on taking the PCI adapter online, see the AIX operating system
documentation. Documentation for the AIX operating system is available from the IBM
Eserver pSeries Information Center at
http://publib16.boulder.ibm.com/pseries/en_US/infocenter/base. Select AIX documentation.
The AIX Documentation CD contains the base set of publications for the operating system,
including system-management and end-user documentation.
