Use either the PCI Hot Plug button on the server or the operating system PCI Hot Plug utility to
control the PCI Hot Plug slots.

The PCI Hot Plug button and the PCI Hot Plug utility allow power to the PCI Hot Plug
slot to be powered on or off. However, the PCI Hot Plug button allows direct access at
each PCI Hot Plug slot. Figure 2-28 shows the hot-plug and non-hot-plug slot locations on
the system board. Table 2-7 identifies the slots.

PCI Hot Plug software support for each operating system is available online. For more
information, see the "PCI Hot Plug Important Facts" section in the online PCI Hot Plug
Administration Guide on the Server Documentation CD.

CAUTION: Do not attempt a PCI Hot Plug procedure if your operating system does not provide
PCI Hot Plug support, or if you do not have the appropriate device drivers installed. Failure to
take these precautions causes system shutdown and risks data integrity.
CAUTION: To avoid critical errors, do not open the slot release lever if the green power LED is
on or blinking. Use the PCI Hot Plug button or the software application to turn off power to
the slot.
