Field Description
Slot Status This field provides the operational status of each PCI slot.
The seven possible indications in this field, with descriptions
of each, are:
Powered Off – Power to the slot is turned off and an adapter
may or may not be present.
Powered On – Power to the slot is turned On, but there is no
adapter in the PCI slot. This may also appear, momentarily,
prior to completing driver loading after a board replacement.
Ready – Power to the slot is turned On, an adapter is in the
slot, but there is no driver loaded for the adapter. Some
boards do not require a driver to operate; for example, the
HP TopTools Remote Control card in PCI slot 2.
Active – Power to the slot is turned on, an adapter is in the
slot, the adapter is using the loaded driver, and the adapter is
operating correctly.
Failed – The driver for this adapter (Hot Plug or non-Hot
Plug) indicates a device failure. Only Hot Plug adapters can
be removed and replaced without shutting down the system
to replace with a good adapter of the same type.
Degraded – A function on the multi-device adapter has
failed, but other functions on the adapter continue to operate
normally.
Processing – This indicates an action of some kind is being
performed on the slot or adapter, that is, the interface utility
may be searching for the drive to load, or it may be
unloading the driver before turning power off, etc.
