Installing PCI I/O Cards
HP 9000 rp7420 servers implement manual release latch (MRL) hardware for use in online add
or replacement (OLAR) operations. If an MRL is left open while the server is booting, HP-UX
can incorrectly cache PCI slot power status causing OLAR operations to fail. To prevent this
situation, ensure all the MRLs are closed before booting the server.
If OLAR reports that a slot is present and powered off, but no OLAR operations to turn power
on to that slot have succeeded even after the MRL is closed, the MRL may have been left open
during boot. To clear this condition, close the MRL for the PCI slot then power off the PCI slot
using the rad -o command. This will allow future OLAR operations to succeed on this PCI
slot.
IMPORTANT: PCI I/O card installation procedures should be downloaded from the HP website
at http://docs.hp.com. Background information and procedures for adding a new PCI I/O
card using online addition are found in the Interface Card OL* Support Guide.
Prerequisites for Adding a PCI I/O Card Using the Attention Button
The prerequisites for this procedure are:
• Drivers for the card have already been installed.
• There are no drivers associated with the slot.
• The green power LED is steady Off.
Should the empty slot be in the On state, use the olrad command or the pdweb tool to
power off the slot.
• The yellow attention LED is steady Off or is blinking (if a user has requested the slot location).
• For details on card installation, see the host bus adapter (HBA) documentation.
