Adding a Hot-Plug PCI-E Card
1. Insert the PCI-E card into the PCIE board, making sure the card bracket aligns with the
optional screw hole.
2. Secure the PCI-E card by locking the silver locking tab. Insert the PCI-E module back to
the chassis and fully close the lever before locking it by pushing the red release tab to
left.
3. A hot-plug addition request is made by pushing the Attention Button on the
corresponding slot. The green power LED will blink to indicate the module is in a
transition state. (To cancel the hot-plug removal operation, press the Attention Button
again within ve seconds.)
4. The power LED will change from blinking to solid on to indicate that the device to be
added has been found, congured and has the driver loaded.
5. If the request fails, the power LED will stop blinking and the slot will remain disabled.
The hot-plug software should activate the Attention LED to indicate an operational
problem.
