Hot-plug PCI Board
On the PCI board slots #1 and #2, you can replace or add a hot-plug PCI board while the server is
operating.
See "List of Optional Devices and their Available Slots" on page 9-22 for the PCI boards supporting
the hot-plug function.
The PCI hot-plug function includes the following functions:
Hot Add
Use Hot Add to install a Hot Plug PCI board while the server is operating.
Hot Remove
Use Hot Remove to remove a Hot Plug PCI board while the server is operating.
Hot Replace
Use Hot Replace to replace a Hot Plug PCI board while the server is operating.
IMPORTANT:
Before removing a PCI board, be sure to stop the driver of the slot
(containing the PCI board) from the operating system (Windows
Server 2003). Failure to do so may cause the system to fail.
For Windows Server 2003, do not use a function in inactive state
after executing the PCI Hot-plug function. The system fails to return
to the original state when a function in inactive state is restarted.
Use the BIOS Setup utility to set the following before executing the
PCI Hot Plug function:
Select [Advanced] → [PCI Configuration] → [Hot-plug PCI
Control] → [Reserving memory space for PHP] → Select memory
space for installed board*
