PCI I/O Card Installation
CAUTION: While the installation process for PCI/PCI-X cards and PCIe cards is the same; PCIe
cards are physically smaller than PCI-X cards and are not interchangeable with PCI/PCI-X cards.
Check Table 1-8 (page 24) to verify the slot types and order.
NOTE: The PCI I/O card installation process varies depending on which version of the HP-UX
operating system you are running on your system. PCI I/O card installation procedures should
be downloaded from the www.hp.com/go/bizsupport Web site. Background information and
procedures for adding a new PCI I/O card using online addition are found in:
• nPartition Administrator's Guide
• Interface Card OL* Support Guide for HP-UX 11.23
