• If the system power is turned on and you are using the IBM i operating system, continue with step
"11" on page 49.
• If you are using the AIX or Linux operation system, read the following note:
Important: You need to work with the system administrator to prepare the PCI slot to receive the
adapter. If this process exceeds the 10-minute service limitation with the system access cover
removed, place the service access cover back on the system before working with the system
administrator to maintain proper system cooling.
Then, choose from the following options:
– If the system power is turned on and you are using the AIX operating system, continue with step
"6" on page 49.
– If the system power is turned on and you are using the Linux operating system, continue with
step "8" on page 49.
6. If you are using the AIX operating system, use the diag command on the console to prepare the slot
to accept a PCIe adapter.
a) Select Add a PCI Hot Plug adapter from the Hot Plug Manager menu.
b) Select the slot from where you removed the adapter.
c) Press Enter again to put the slot into the action state.
A fast-flashing amber LED at the rear of the system near the adapter indicates that the slot is
identified and is ready to receive the adapter.
7. Continue with step "9" on page 49.
8. If you are using the Linux operating system, use the drmgr command on the console to prepare the
slot to accept a PCIe adapter.
For example, to install the PCIe adapter in slot U7879.001.DQD014E-P1-C3, type:
drmgr -c pci -r -s locationcode
In this example, you would replace locationcode with U7879.001.DQD014E-P1-C3.
Follow the instructions on the display to complete the task.
9. Ensure that you have on the ESD strap.
10. If necessary, remove the service access cover.
11. If the adapter latch (B) at the target slot on the system is not already in the open position, pull the
latch into the open position by rotating the latch outwards from its clip on the back of the system.
See Figure 36 on page 50 and Figure 37 on page 51 for the location of the adapter latch.

CAUTION: A hot surface nearby. (L007)
Attention: The system supports full-height tailstock brackets only. If your PCIe adapter
shipped with a low-profile tailstock, you might need to change it. For instructions on removing
and replacing the tailstock, see "Removing and replacing the tailstock on a PCIe adapter " on
page 85.
12. Press the adapter firmly into its connector ensuring that it is seated.
See Figure 36 on page 50 and Figure 37 on page 51.
