2. Press the attention button. See Figure 6-22.
The green power LED will start to blink and then turn steady Off. If the green power LED
does not go Off, then check the hotplugd daemon log file (default: /var/adm/
hotplugd.log) for errors, and do not proceed further.
NOTE: If the attention button is pressed a second time during the first five seconds while
the green LED is blinking, the operation is cancelled and the power to the slot remains on.

Replacing the PCI Card
To replace a PCI card, follow these steps:
1. Install the new replacement PCI card in the slot.
NOTE: Online addition using the attention button does not perform the pre-add sequence
of olrad which uses the olrad -a command.
2. Flip the PCI MRL for the card slot to the closed position.
3. Press the attention button. The green power LED starts to blink.
4. Wait for the green power LED to stop blinking and turn solid green.
5. Check for errors in the hotplugd daemon log file (default: /var/adm/hotplugd.log).
6. Connect all cables to the replacement PCI card.
7. Replace the top cover. See “Replacing the Top Cover” (page 87).
The critical resource analysis (CRA) performed while doing an attention button initiated replace
action is very restrictive and the action will not complete—it will fail—to protect critical resources
from being impacted.
