How to Initiate a Reconfiguration Boot

After installing any new internal option or external storage device, you must
perform a reconfiguration boot so that the operating system is able to recognize any
newly installed devices. In addition, if you remove any device and do not install a
replacement device prior to rebooting the system, you must perform a
reconfiguration boot in order for the operating system to recognize the configuration
change. This requirement also applies to any component that is connected to the
system's I C bus, including memory modules, CPU/Memory boards, and power

supplies.
This requirement does not apply to any component that is:
Installed or removed as part of a hot-plug or hot-swap operation
