Step 4. Turn the PCI-X card lock on the chassis until the manual retention latch (MRL) is free to pull up.
Step 5. At this point, the power to the slot is off; pull up on the manual retention latch located on the OLX
divider. Figure 4-26 shows the layout of the PCI-X card divider.
Step 6. Remove the existing PCI-X card from the slot.
Step 7. Push the manual retention latch down until it seats against the chassis wall.
Step 8. Replace the top cover. See“Replacing the Top Cover” on page 44.
Step 9. Push the HP server all the way back into the rack until it stops. See “Inserting the Server into the
Rack” on page 39.
Online Replacement-(OL-R)
As discussed earlier, OL-R is a combination of an OL-D procedure followed by an OL-A procedure.
CAUTION For HP-UX 11i v2 only. You can only replace an existing card with a like card.
To remove and replace a PCI-X card into a populated slot, follow these steps:
Step 1. If rack mounted, slide the HP server out from the rack until it stops. See “Extending the Server
from the Rack” on page 39.
Step 2. Remove the top cover from the chassis. See “Removing the Top Cover” on page 43.
Step 3. Press the attention button located on the OLX divider controls the affected slot—the power LED
starts to blink. Wait until the power LED goes from blinking to steady-off.
NOTE After pushing the attention button, you have 5 seconds to cancel the operation by
pushing the attention button again.
Step 4. Turn the PCI-X card lock on the chassis until the manual retention latch (MRL) is free to pull up.
Step 5. At this point, the power to the slot is off; pull up on the manual retention latch located on the OLX
divider. Figure 4-26 shows the layout of the PCI-X card divider.
Step 6. Remove the existing PCI-X card from the slot.
Step 7. Insert the new PCI-X card into the powered down slot. Figure 4-27 shows how to correctly install a
PCI-X card.
CAUTION When inserting the PCI-X card, be careful you do not accidentally touch an attention
button on the other OLX dividers—this will initiate an undesired shutdown of
another PCI-X card/slot. If you accidentally press the wrong attention button, you
have five seconds to push the attention button again to cancel the action.
Also, ensure that you fully seat the card into the slot or undesired results may occur
after power is re-applied to the slot.
Step 8. Push the manual retention latch down until it seats against the chassis wall.
