Installing PCI Hot Plug Expansion Boards
The server supports PCI Hot Plug technology, which works together with the
server operating system to allow replacement, addition, and upgrade of
expansion boards without powering down the server.
The server must have all the following to be PCI Hot Plug-capable:
·
·
·
PCI Hot Plug system hardware (available in this server)
PCI Hot Plug device drivers installed from the SmartStart CD
Operating system with PCI Hot Plug support
For more information, refer to the PCI Hot Plug Administration Guide on the
Documentation CD.
To install a hot-plug expansion board:
1. Extend the server from the rack, if applicable ("Extending the Server from
the Rack" on page
50
).
2. Remove the access panel ("Removing the Access Panel" on page
34
).
3. Open the PCI riser cage door.
4. Press the PCI Hot Plug button to remove power from the slot. When the
green power LED on the slot stops flashing, power has been removed from
the slot.
