PCI I/O Card Installation
HP Integrity rx7620 Servers implement manual release latch (MRL) hardware for use in online add or
replacement (OLAR) operations. If an MRL is left open while the server is booting, HP-UX can incorrectly
cache PCI slot power status causing OLAR operations to fail. To prevent this situation, ensure all the MRLs
are closed before booting the server.
If OLAR reports that a slot is present and powered off, but no OLAR operations to turn power on to that slot
have succeeded even after the MRL is closed, the MRL may have been left open during boot. To clear this
condition, close the MRL for the PCI slot then power off the PCI slot using the
rad -o
command. This will
allow future OLAR operations to succeed on this PCI slot.
IMPORTANT
The installation process varies depending on what method for installing the PCI card is
selected. PCI I/O card installation procedures should be downloaded from the
http://docs.hp.com/ Web site. Background information and procedures for adding a new PCI I/O
card using online addition are found in the Interface Card OL* Support Guide.
PCI I/O OL* Card Methods
There are three methods for performing OL* operations on PCI I/O cards.
pdweb
The Peripheral Device Tool (pdweb) Web-based method of performing OL*.
olrad
The command line method of performing OL*.
Attention
Button
The hardware system slot based method of performing OL*.
