• To determine the status of all the PCI I/O slots, run the olrad -q command.
• 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, obtain a copy of the interface card guide.
This procedure describes how to perform an online addition of a PCI card using the attention

is also referred to as the doorbell.
To install a PCI I/O card, follow these procedures:
1. Remove the top cover.
2. Remove the PCI bulkhead filler panel.
3. Flip the PCI gate for the card slot to the open position. See Figure 3-2.
4. Install the new PCI card in the slot.
NOTE: To properly seat the card into the backplane, use a slow, firm pressure.
5. Flip the PCI gate for the card slot to the closed position.
CAUTION: Working out of sequence or not completing the actions within each step could

6. Press the attention button.
