Removing PCI Adapters
With this system, you can remove PCI adapters with the power on. These adapters are
referred to as
hot-pluggable
PCI adapters. Some adapters are not hot-pluggable and
power must be removed from the system for adapter removal.
Before you remove the adapter, determine if the PCI adapter you are removing is
hot-pluggable. See the
PCI Adapter Placement Reference
, order number SA38-0538.
If you are removing a PCI adapter that is:
v Not hot-pluggable, go to “Removing a Non-Hot-Pluggable PCI Adapter”.
v Hot-pluggable, go to “Removing a Hot-Pluggable PCI Adapter” on page 34.
Removing a Non-Hot-Pluggable PCI Adapter
To remove a non-hot-pluggable adapter, perform the following steps:
1. Turn power off and unplug the system unit power cable from the electrical outlet.
If the system is operating under AIX, type shutdown to power off the system.
If you cannot use this method, you can power off the system by using the following
operator panel power-button procedure.
Attention: Using the primary I/O drawer operator-panel power button to power
off the system may cause unpredictable results in the data files, and the next IPL
will take longer to complete.
a. Open the rack door.
b. Press the power button on the primary I/O drawer operator panel.
The primary I/O drawer operator panel power LED starts blinking at a fast rate.
B0FF appears in the primary operator panel display.
