Adding a PCI I/O Card Using the Attention Button
The following prerequisites for this procedure:
• Drivers for the card have already been installed.
• No drivers are associated with the slot.
• The green power LED is steady OFF. Should the empty slot be in the ON state use the olrad
command or the pdweb tool to power the slot OFF.
• The yellow attention LED if steady OFF or is blinking if a user has requested the slot location.
• See the host bus adapter (HBA) documentation for details on card installation.
• Run the olrad -q command to determine the status of all the PCI I/O slots.
• Obtain a copy of the interface card guide for instructions on preparing the operating system
for the online addition of the PCI I/O card before attempting to insert a PCI I/O card into the
PCI-X card cage assembly backplane slot.
This procedure describes how to perform an online addition of a PCI card using the attention button
for cards whose drivers support online add or replacement (OLAR). The attention button is also
referred to as the doorbell.

(page 44).
4. Install the new PCI card in the slot.
NOTE: Apply a slow, firm pressure to properly seat the card into the backplane.
5. Flip the PCI MRL for the card slot to the closed position.
CAUTION: Working out of sequence or not completing the actions within each step could
cause the system to crash.
Do not press the attention button until the latch is locked.
