ECG078/0698 TECHNOLOGY BRIEF (cont.) ... All slots have a new push-button control (the PCI Hot Plug Button) that allows slot control at the server. Like other hot-plug components in the server, the PCI Hot Plug Buttons are port-colored as shown in Figure 12. PCI Hot Plug Button Slot Release Lever Figure 12: PCI Hot Plug Buttons for ProLiant 7000 (top view of I/O section). If the green PCI Hot Plug LED for the slot is on, pushing the PCI Hot Plug Button will stop all activity to the slot and allow any cached data to be cleared before the power to the slot is interrupted. While the slot powers down, the green LED blinks. The green LED will turn completely off when it is safe to open the slot release lever and remove the PCI adapter. Once the PCI adapter has been replaced, pushing the PCI Hot Plug Button will reactivate the slot. Alternatively, these same operations can be performed by using the PCI Hot Plug software application. Mechanical Design Compaq designed the ProLiant 7000 system chassis for safe and easy installation and removal of PCI adapters. The ProLiant 7000 has nine PCI Hot Plug slots-five 64-bit slots and four 32-bit slots. The hot-plug slots are spaced wide enough to allow users to remove and replace adapters without electrically contacting (shorting) other components. Flexible slot separators are also used between the hot-plug slots to reduce the risk of electrical shorting. On top of the server chassis, a lockable access door over the hot-plug slots allows an administrator easy access to hot-plug adapters. MANAGEMENT TECHNOLOGIES Fault-tolerant, redundant features are only part of what makes Compaq servers highly available. Compaq also integrates management tools into the server hardware to improve availability and reduce downtime. The Integrated Management Display (IMD) and Integrated Remote Console (IRC) provide essential information at a glance and allow users easy remote access to their servers. In addition to these management technologies, the auto-default ROM configuration provides default configuration settings for most devices. 18

All slots have a new push-button control (the PCI Hot Plug Button) that allows slot control at the
server.
Like other hot-plug components in the server, the PCI Hot Plug Buttons are port-colored
as shown in Figure 12.
Figure 12:
PCI Hot Plug Buttons for ProLiant 7000 (top view of I/O section).
If the green PCI Hot Plug LED for the slot is on, pushing the PCI Hot Plug Button will stop all
activity to the slot and allow any cached data to be cleared before the power to the slot is
interrupted.
While the slot powers down, the green LED blinks.
The green LED will turn
completely off when it is safe to open the slot release lever and remove the PCI adapter.
Once the
PCI adapter has been replaced, pushing the PCI Hot Plug Button will reactivate the slot.
Alternatively, these same operations can be performed by using the PCI Hot Plug software
application.
Mechanical Design
Compaq designed the ProLiant 7000 system chassis for safe and easy installation and removal of
PCI adapters.
The ProLiant 7000 has nine PCI Hot Plug slots—five 64-bit slots and four 32-bit
slots.
The hot-plug slots are spaced wide enough to allow users to remove and replace adapters without
electrically contacting (shorting) other components.
Flexible slot separators are also used
between the hot-plug slots to reduce the risk of electrical shorting.
On top of the server chassis, a
lockable access door over the hot-plug slots allows an administrator easy access to hot-plug
adapters.
