Pci Hot-Plug Accessory Boards - HP D7171A - NetServer - LPr Installation Manual

Chapter 6
NOTE
All PCI slots power on when the locking levers are closed, and
the HP NetServer recognizes all new boards when it reboots,
regardless of the presence of a driver or a PCI Hot-Plug Utility.
If the PCI accessory board requires a driver (non-hot-plug-
compliant or hot-plug compliant) that is not loaded during
NOS installation, you must load the driver according to the
respective NOS driver installation process before you can use
the board. Refer to PCI Hot Plug Help on the HP NetServer
Navigator CD-ROM for more hot-plug information.
15. Use the respective NOS to ensure that the correct PCI board software
drivers are loaded and verify its correct operation.
16. Restore the NetServer to normal operation.

PCI Hot-Plug Accessory Boards

The PCI Hot-Plug option is NOS-dependant. To use the Hot-Plug option, the PCI
accessory board must have a hot-plug compliant driver and a Hot-Plug utility for
the respective NOS. The Hot-Plug utility is used to power on or off the PCI slot
while the NetServer continues to operate.
If the hot-plug compliant driver and the Hot-Plug utility are not installed during
the NOS configuration process, you will not be able to use the Hot-Plug option.
Refer to the respective NOS Hot-Plug Help files for instructions loading the
Hot-Plug Utility and hot-plug compliant drivers. Then initialize the driver if it is
not done automatically.
For current PCI Hot-Plug information about NOS support, and the PCI hot-plug
