Chapter 6 Installing Additional Boards

Figure 6-6. PCI Hot Plug Interface

CAUTION Never remove a PCI Hot Plug board from a hot-plug slot

without first powering down the slot through software. Doing

so interferes with the operation of the board’s Hot Plug driver.

As a consequence, the board will not resume I/O operation

when replaced. Also, you will not be able to power up the slot

again through software.

If the board in a Hot Plug slot does not have Hot Plug drivers,

you cannot power it down through software. Do not remove

the board while the server is running.

NOTE If you want, you can reverse steps 2 and 3: power off the slot

through software before opening the Hot Plug access panel.
