PCI-X Technology Navigating the NCMCON Menus The NCMCON interface constantly retrieves and displays the status of all of the slots. If there are any errors, the appropriate error message displays.

The current line is highlighted. • Press the Enter key to go to the Slot Options menu. Use the arrow keys to highlight the correct option and press the Enter key to select that option. If you press the Enter key when a non-hot-plug slot is highlighted, the Slot Detail screen displays. • If at any point you want to return to the Main menu, press the Esc key. • Press the F1 key for online help. Performing PCI Hot Plug Actions The PCI Hot Plug Utility and the NetWare PCI Hot Plug application work together to enable the following hot-plug actions: • View slot detail information This option enables you to view detailed information about each PCI slot. • Hot removal of expansion boards You can manually shut down and permanently remove an expansion board, regardless of whether it is working or has failed. Performing a manual removal also disables the device driver. • Hot replacement of expansion boards This option enables you to replace a failed expansion board with an identical expansion board. This action applies power to and configures the slot. • Hot addition of expansion boards This option enables you to add an expansion board into an empty slot.
