Description
Provides a descriptive list of all slots that support PCI hot-plug capability. If the
listing for a slot indicates it holds an unknown device, select the Install/configure
Devices added after IPL to configure the adapter in that slot.
Allows the user to add a new PCI hot-plug-capable adapter to the slot with the
system turned on. You will be asked to identify the PCI slot that you have selected
prior to the actual operation. The selected PCI slot will go into the Action state and
finally into the On state.
Note: The system will indicate the slot holds an unknown device until you perform
the Install/configure devices added after IPL option to configure the adapter.
Allows the user to remove an existing adapter, or replace an existing adapter with an
identical one. For 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.
Allows the user to identify a PCI slot. The selected PCI slot will go into the Identify
state. See "Component LEDs" on page 31.
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 step fails, the customer must take action to release
the device.
Allows a new PCI adapter to be configured into the system if software support is
already available for the adapter. The selected PCI slot will go into the On state.
The system attempts to configure any new devices and tries to find and install any
required software from a user-selected source.
