Hardware interface for Superdome servers To perform hot-plug additions using the Superdome hardware interface, complete the following steps: 1. Locate an empty slot. Note the cabinet number, I/O bay number, I/O chassis number, and the PCI slot number. All are marked on the cabinet or I/O chassis. 2. Insert the card into the slot. Power should be off on all unused slots, but check power LED before making the insertion. 3. From the MP command window, enter the pciolad command. A screen similar to the following appears: This command initiates the activation or deactivation of a PCI card. Note: Activate is equivalent to Add/Insert, and Deactivate is equivalent to Remove/Eject.
