Step 8. Check for errors in the hotplugd daemon log file (default: /var/adm/hotplugd.log).
The critical resource analysis (CRA) performed while doing an attention button-initiated add action
is restrictive, and the action will not complete and will fail to protect critical resources from being
impacted.
For finer control over CRA actions, use the pdweb or the olrad command. Refer to the Interface
Card OL* Support Guide located on the Web at http://docs.hp.com, for details.
Step 9. Replace the top cover.
Step 10. Connect all cables to the installed PCI card.
Installing an A6869B VGA/USB PCI Card in a Server
The A6869B VGA/USB PCI card is a dual function combo card, hosting VGA and universal serial bus (USB)
controllers. Both of these devices sit behind a PCI-PCI bridge. The A6869B VGA/USB PCI card operates at
the conventional 66MHz/64 bit PCI rate and is universally keyed. All signalling and form factors conform to
the PCI Local Bus Specification 2.3. The VGA controller has 128Mbits of DDR-1 RAM for use as a frame
buffer.
The A6869B VGA/USB PCI card can be installed into any slot in a PCI/PCI-X backplane.
IMPORTANT If you are installing the A6869B in HP servers based on the sx1000 chipset, such as HP
Superdome, rx7620 or rx8620, the system firmware must be updated to a minimum revision of
3.88.
IMPORTANT Search for available PCI slots that support the conventional clock speed to conserve availability
of higher speed PCI-X card slots to PCI-X cards that use the higher bandwidth. This applies to
mid-range as well as high-end HP server I/O PCI-X backplanes.
