The critical resource analysis (CRA) performed while doing an attention button initiated add
action is very restrictive and the action will not complete–it will fail–to protect critical resources
from being impacted.
For finer control over CRA actions use pdweb or the olrad command. See the Interface Card
OL* Support Guide located at the following website: www.hp.com/go/bizsupport. Enter the

Installing an A6869B VGA/USB PCI Card in a Server
The A6869B VGA/USB PCI card is a dual function combo card, hosting VGA and universal serial
bus (USB) controllers. Both of these devices sit behind a PCI-PCI bridge. The A6869B VGA/USB
PCI card operates at the conventional 66MHz/64 bit PCI rate and is universally keyed. All signalling
and form factors conform to the PCI Local Bus Specification 2.3. The VGA controller has 128Mbits
of DDR-1 RAM for use as a frame buffer.
The A6869B VGA/USB PCI card can be installed into any slot in a PCI/PCI-X backplane.
IMPORTANT: If you are installing the A6869B in HP servers based on the sx1000 chipset, such
as HP Superdome, rx7620 or rx8620, the system firmware must be updated to a minimum revision
of 3.88.
IMPORTANT: Search for available PCI slots that support the conventional clock speed to conserve
availability of higher speed PCI-X card slots to PCI-X cards that use the higher bandwidth. This
applies to mid-range as well as high-end HP server I/O PCI-X backplanes.
