HP Integrity rx7620 Server - User Service Guide, Sixth Edition
If SAM detected that the selected PCI/PCI-X card cannot be taken offline, you will not be
able to click OK and you cannot replace the card while HP-UX remains running. In this case,
you must shut down HP-UX on the nPartition before replacing the defective card.
4. Locate the PCI-X slot where the selected card resides.
On the server, you can view the PCI-X slots and slot LEDs from the rear of the cabinet.
The selected slot powers off (its green power LED is off), and the slot amber attention
indicator (a dark orange yellow LED) blinks.
5. Label and remove the cables connected to the PCI/PCI-X card to be removed.
6. Remove the top cover.
7. Flip the card slot PCI MRL to the open position.
8. Firmly pull up on the tabs on the card separator.
9. Remove the card from the PCI slot.
Replacing a PCI/PCI-X Card
To replace the PCI/PCI-X card, follow these steps:
1. Position the replacement PCI/PCI-X card in the slot.
NOTE: Use a slow firm pressure to properly set the card into its connection. PCI/PCI-X
cards tend to be difficult to install.
2. Flip the card slot PCI MRL to the closed position.
3. Replace the top cover.
4. Connect all cables to the replacement PCI/PCI-X card.
5. In SAM’s Replace Card window, click OK.
SAM powers the PCI slot back on and turns off the slot’s attention indicator. SAM also
resumes the card’s driver operations.
6. Confirm that the replacement card is online and powered on, using SAM’s I/O Cards screen.
7. Exit SAM.
Option ROM
To enable faster booting, system firmware does not auto-scan PCI devices with an Option ROM.
In order to boot from a PCI connected device with an Option ROM, it must be added to the table
of boot devices.
To add an option ROM, follow these steps:
1. Install the I/O card into the chassis.
2. Boot the server to the EFI shell.
3. Run the EFI search command.
To add a single card:
search <cell> <pci_slot #>
To add all cards:
search all
4. Issue the EFI map –r command.
5. To enter the Boot Manager, issue the exit command.
6. From the EFI Boot Manager Menu, select Boot Option Maintenance Menu.
7. From the Main Menu, select Add a Boot Option.
8. Add the device as a new boot device.
