system thinks that the slot is
empty because the system
didn't detect the card when it
was inserted.
The card is coming up or
going down.
The card is up and running.
The card is powered off.
The card is powered on, but it
is offline for some reason (for
example, a fault was detected
on the card).
The card is powered on and
is in use, but a fault has been
detected on the card.
Action

following components is faulty:

• the alarm card
• the system controller board
Remove and replace the failed component to clear
this state.
Do not remove the card in this state.
Do not remove the card in this state.
You can remove the card in this state.
Wait several seconds to see if the green Power LED
stops blinking. If it does not stop blinking after
several seconds, enter cfgadm and verify that the
card is in the unconfigured state, then perform the
necessary action, depending on the card:
• Alarm card—You can remove the alarm card in
this state.
• All other cards—Power off the slot through the
alarm card software, then remove the card.
Deactivate the card using one of the following
methods:
• Use the cfgadm -f -c unconfigure command
to deactivate the card. Note that in some cases,
this may cause the system to panic, depending on
the nature of the card hardware or software.
• Halt the system and power off the slot through the
alarm card software, then remove the card.
The green Power LED will then give status
information:
• If the green Power LED goes off, then you can
remove the card.
• If the green Power LED remains on, then you must
halt the system and power off the slot through the
alarm card software.
