List PCI Hot-Plug Slots
Provides a descriptive list of all slots that support PCI hot-plug capability. If the listing for a slot indicates it
holds an “Unknown” device, select the Install/Configure Devices Added after IPL to configure the
adapter in that slot.
Add a PCI Hot-Plug Adapter

be asked to identify the PCI slot that you have selected prior to the actual operation. The selected PCI slot
will go into the Action state and finally into the On state.
Note: The system will indicate the slot holds an “Unknown” device until you perform the Install/Configure
Devices Added After IPL option to configure the adapter.
Replace/Remove a PCI Hot-Plug Adapter

this option to work, the adapter must be in the Defined state (see the “Unconfigure a Device” option).
You will be asked to identify the PCI slot prior to the actual operation. The selected PCI slot will go into the
Action state.
Identify a PCI Hot-Plug Slot

LEDs” on page 544.
Unconfigure a Device
Allows the user to put an existing PCI adapter into the Defined state if the device is no longer in use.
This step must be completed successfully before starting any removal or replacement operation. If this
step fails, the customer must take action to release the device.
