2. If a second Core I/O card set is installed, it must be installed in PCI-X IO Chassis 0, slot number 8. This slot is reserved for the second Core I/O LAN/SCSI card. CAUTION: When a LAN/SCSI PCI card is added to an HP Integrity rx7640 server as part of a core I/O set, it must not have an external SCSI device connected to port B of the LAN/SCSI PCI card. Data corruption will result to each of the connected SCSI devices. If a LAN/SCSI PCI card is installed individually (non-core I/O set), additional SCSI devices can be connected to the external bulkhead ports A and B. The LAN/SCSI PCI card is supported as an add-on (non-core I/O set) PCI card for HP Integrity rx7640 server. PCI/PCI-X Card Replacement Preliminary Procedures 1. Run SAM (/usr/sbin/sam) and from the main SAM Areas screen select the Peripheral Devices area, then select the Cards area. 2. From the I/O Cards screen, select the card you will replace and then select the Actions->Replace menu item. 3. Wait for SAM to complete its critical resource analysis for the selected card and then review the analysis results. If no critical resources will be disabled by taking the selected card offline, click the OK button to suspend the card's driver and power off the card's PCI-X slot. Proceed with the next step. If SAM detected that the selected PCI/PCI-X card cannot be taken offline, you will not be able to click the OK button and cannot replace the card while HP-UX remains running. In this case, you must shut down HP-UX on the nPartition before replacing the defective card. 4. Locate the PCI-X slot where the selected card resides. On the server, you can view the PCI-X slots and slot LEDs from the rear of the cabinet. The selected slot will be powered off (its green power LED will be off), and the slot's amber attention indicator (a dark orange yellow LED) will be blinking. Removing a PCI/PCI-X Card 1. Label and remove the cable(s) connected to the PCI/PCI-X card to be removed. 2. Remove the top cover. 3. Flip the card slot's PCI MRL to the open position. 4. Firmly pull up on the tabs on the card separator. 5. Remove the card from the PCI slot. Replacing the PCI/PCI-X Card 1. Position the replacement PCI/PCI-X card in the slot. NOTE: Use a slow firm pressure to properly set the card into its connection. PCI/PCI-X cards tend to be difficult to install. 2. Flip the card slot's PCI MRL to the closed position. 3. Replace the top cover. 4. Connect all cables to the replacement PCI/PCI-X card. 5. In SAM's Replace Card window, click the OK button. SAM powers the PCI slot back on and turns off the slot's attention indicator. SAM also resumes the card's driver operations. 6. Confirm that the replacement card is online and powered on, using SAM's I/O Cards screen. Removing and Replacing a PCI/PCI-X Card 167

If a second Core I/O card set is installed, it must be installed in PCI-X IO Chassis 0, slot
number 8. This slot is reserved for the second Core I/O LAN/SCSI card.
CAUTION:
When a LAN/SCSI PCI card is added to an HP Integrity rx7640 server as part of a
core I/O set, it must not have an external SCSI device connected to
port B
of the LAN/SCSI PCI
card. Data corruption will result to each of the connected SCSI devices.
If a LAN/SCSI PCI card is installed individually (non-core I/O set), additional SCSI devices can
be connected to the external bulkhead
ports A and B
.
The LAN/SCSI PCI card is supported as an add-on (non-core I/O set) PCI card for HP Integrity
rx7640 server.
PCI/PCI-X Card Replacement Preliminary Procedures
1.
Run SAM (
/usr/sbin/sam
) and from the main SAM Areas screen select the
Peripheral
Devices
area, then select the
Cards
area.
2.
From the I/O Cards screen, select the card you will replace and then select the
Actions
—
>Replace
menu item.
3.
Wait for SAM to complete its critical resource analysis for the selected card and then review
the analysis results.
If no critical resources will be disabled by taking the selected card offline, click the
OK
button
to suspend the card’s driver and power off the card’s PCI-X slot. Proceed with the next step.
If SAM detected that the selected PCI/PCI-X card cannot be taken offline, you will not be
able to click the
OK
button and cannot replace the card while HP-UX remains running. In
this case, you must shut down HP-UX on the nPartition before replacing the defective card.
4.
Locate the PCI-X slot where the selected card resides.
On the server, you can view the PCI-X slots and slot LEDs from the rear of the cabinet.
The selected slot will be powered off (its green power LED will be off), and the slot’s amber
attention indicator (a dark orange yellow LED) will be blinking.
Removing a PCI/PCI-X Card
1.
Label and remove the cable(s) connected to the PCI/PCI-X card to be removed.
2.
Remove the top cover.
3.
Flip the card slot’s PCI MRL to the open position.
4.
Firmly pull up on the tabs on the card separator.
5.
Remove the card from the PCI slot.
Replacing the PCI/PCI-X Card
1.
Position the replacement PCI/PCI-X card in the slot.
NOTE:
Use a slow firm pressure to properly set the card into its connection. PCI/PCI-X
cards tend to be difficult to install.
2.
Flip the card slot’s PCI MRL to the closed position.
3.
Replace the top cover.
4.
Connect all cables to the replacement PCI/PCI-X card.
5.
In SAM’s Replace Card window, click the
OK
button.
SAM powers the PCI slot back on and turns off the slot’s attention indicator. SAM also
resumes the card’s driver operations.
6.
Confirm that the replacement card is online and powered on, using SAM’s I/O Cards screen.
