List PCI Hot-Plug Slots
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.
Add a PCI Hot-Plug Adapter
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.
Replace/Remove a PCI Hot-Plug 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 "Unconfigure a Device" option below).
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
Allows the user to identify a PCI slot. The selected PCI slot will go into the Identify state. See Chapter 12,
"Fault and Attention LEDs," on page 685.
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
step fails, the customer must take action to release the device.
Configure a Defined 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.
