NOTE
All PCI slots (with the PCI hold-down latch closed) power on
and the HP NetServer recognizes all new boards when it
reboots, regardless of the presence of a driver or a PCI Hot
Plug Utility.
If the PCI board requires a driver (non-hot plug-compliant or
hot plug-compliant) that is not loaded during NOS installation,
you must load the driver according to the respective NOS’s
driver installation process before you can use the board. Refer
to
PCI Hot Plug Help
on the
HP NetServer Navigator
CD-ROM
for more hot-plug information.
21.
Use the respective NOS to ensure the correct software drivers for the PCI
board are loaded and verify correction operation.
NOTE
If the hot-plug compliant driver and the Hot Plug Utility are
not loaded during the configuration process (NOS installation),
you will not be able to use the Hot Plug option until the utility
and drivers are loaded. Refer to the respective NOS Hot Plug
Help files to load the Hot Plug Utility and hot plug compliant
drivers and then initialize the driver(s) if it is not done
automatically.
22.
Restore the HP NetServer to normal operation.
PCI Hot Plug Boards
The PCI Hot Plug option is NOS dependent. To use the Hot Plug option, the PCI
board must have a hot-plug compliant driver and a Hot Plug Utility for the
respective NOS. The Hot Plug Utility is used to turn power off/on to the PCI slot,
while the NetServer continues to operate.
If the hot-plug compliant driver and the Hot Plug Utility are not loaded during the
configuration process (NOS installation), you will not be able to use the Hot Plug
option. Refer to the respective NOS Hot Plug Help files for instructions on
loading the Hot Plug Utility and hot-plug compliant drivers, load then initialize
the driver(s) if it is not done automatically.
