6 Installing Additional Boards

Introduction

This chapter describes how to install accessory boards into the I/O baseboard of
the HP NetServer LXr 8500. The HP NetServer provides ten PCI board slots
(P1 through P10) and all ten slots support standard PCI boards and PCI boards
with the Hot Plug option (driver).
The PCI Hot Plug option is both Network Operating System (NOS) and HP
NetServer dependent. To use the Hot Plug option, the PCI board must have a Hot
Plug compliant driver. Refer to "PCI Hot Plug Boards" at the end of this chapter
for more information.
