• J2240, J5000, J6000, and J7000
• L-Class
• N-Class
Although V-Class and Superdome systems have a PCI bus, they do not
permit user installations. If you need to install PCI Token Ring on these
machines, please contact Hewlett-Packard for service.
If the level of detail in this document is not sufficient, please refer to your
system’s hardware user’s guide for additional information about
inserting or removing circuit cards.
Photos of an A-Class system are included here for clarity. Your particular
hardware may vary from what is shown.
NOTE A new feature called “Online Addition and Replacement” or “OLAR” is
supported in 11i. This feature allows the PCI Token Ring card to be
added or replaced without the need to power down or reboot the system.
See the section “Online Addition and Replacement (OLAR) of PCI Token
Ring Adapter” for additional information.
Step 1. Exit all running programs and shut down the system by using this
command:
/sbin/shutdown -h
Step 2. Wait until the system responds with “OK to press reset” or “Halted, you
may now cycle power,” and then power off the system.
Step 3. Disconnect all attached cables and wires with the system placed on an
anti-static, grounded surface if possible (see photo on following page).
Step 4. Remove the appropriate cover or panel to expose the available system
card slot(s). In the example of the A-Class system shown on the following
page, you must remove the two thumb-screws identified in the photo,
then remove the chassis cover.
