List PCI Hot-Plug Slots

Devices Added After IPL option to configure the adapter.

this option to work, the adapter must be in the Defined state (see the "Unconfigure a Device" option).
You will be asked to identify the PCI slot prior to the actual operation. The selected PCI slot will go into the
Action state.
Identify a PCI Hot-Plug Slot

LEDs" on page 544.
Unconfigure a Device
Allows the user to put an existing PCI adapter into the Defined state if the device is no longer in use.
This step must be completed successfully before starting any removal or replacement operation. If this
