Installing Accessory Boards
NOTE To perform a hot add or a hot replacement when the
HP NetServer is powered on, refer to help information
provided on the HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM provided
with your HP NetServer.
Refer to the HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM for "Window
NT 4.0 PCI Hot Plug Applications" in the Diskette Library.
Use this procedure to install all PCI accessory boards for the following situations:
The initial installation of PCI Hot-Plug boards. For complete information
about installing hot-plug accessory boards, see the section, “PCI Hot Plug
Accessory Boards,” at the end of this chapter.
•
All PCI accessory boards without hot-plug compliant drivers installed or
removed in slots 1 through 6.
NOTE Read the PCI accessory board documentation and follow any
special instructions before installing the board.
NOTE Consider the boot priority before proceeding. For details, refer
to the section, "Boot Priority," earlier in this chapter.
If installing a SCSI controller board, the controller's boot
priority is set by the board's slot number.
CAUTION For non-hot-plug PCI boards:
To prevent a system crash, never open the PCI latch and
retainer when the NetServer is power on. Always power off
the NetServer before opening the PCI latch and retainer.
For Hot-Plug PCI boards:
Only a PCI Hot-Plug utility lets you power off the hot-plug
slot before opening the PCI latch and retainer when the
NetServer is powered on.
