Chapter 6 Installing Additional Boards 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.
