Online Replacement (OLR) for a PCI Card
HP System Partitions Guide: Administration for nPartitions, rev 5.1 396
At this point, all attention and power indicators (LEDs) for the card slot
are visible. The light bars on the replacement card’s slot divider should
indicate that the slot is powered off and its attention LED is flashing.
Each slot divider corresponds to the PCI card slot to its immediate right
(when viewing the I/O chassis by facing the card slots with the top up).
Step 15. Disconnect all cables from the PCI card to be replaced.
Carefully set the cable ends aside where they will not obstruct work or be
damaged.
Step 16. On HP rp7410 and rp8400 servers, flip the card slot latch to its open
position.
When open, the latch is parallel to the back edge of the chassis.
Step 17. Lift the card slot divider to release the PCI card from its slot.
Pull firmly on the slot divider’s “handle” until the card becomes
unseated. The correct slot divider is indicated by its LED states.
Step 18. Remove the card from its slot and set the card aside.
You may need to label the removed card to indicate it is defective.
Step 19. Place the replacement card in the slot.
Slide the card in the slot, and ensure it is properly aligned. Press firmly
on the card until it is fully seated in the card slot.
Step 20. On HP rp7410 and rp8400 servers, flip the card slot latch to its closed
position.
When closed, the latch is parallel to the card slot divider.
If the latch will not close, the card might not be completely seated in its
slot. In this situation, you can either press firmly on the card until it is
seated, or lift the slot divider to release the card and then realign and
reseat the card.
Step 21. Reconnect all cables to the new card to match their prior attachments to
the original card.
Step 22. Replace the top of the I/O chassis, and restore all front covers and bezels
to their original locations.
