When the HP NetServer reboots, all PCI slots (with the PCI
hold-down latch closed) power on and all new accessory
boards are recognized, 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 instructions before you can use the board.
Refer to "PCI Hot Plug Boards" for more hot plug information.
20.
Use the respective NOS to ensure the correct software drivers for the PCI
board are loaded and, if possible, verify correction operation.
21.
Restore the HP NetServer to normal operation.
NOTE
To prevent intermittent problems, ensure each unused PCI slot
has a PCI slot cover in place. If a PCI board is removed and a
replacement is not re-installed, you must ensure the unused slot
has a PCI slot cover installed.
PCI Hot Plug Boards
The PCI Hot Plug option is Network Operating System (NOS) dependent. To use
the Hot Plug option, the PCI board must have a hot plug compliant driver and a
Hot Plug Utility must be loaded for the respective NOS. The Hot Plug Utility is
used to turn power off/on to the PCI slot, while the HP NetServer continues to
operate normally.
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 and HP
NetServer 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.
