Appendix B Warranty, Software License and Support Field Slot Status Description This field provides the operational status of each PCI slot. The seven possible indications in this field, with descriptions of each, are: Powered Off - Power to the slot is turned off and an adapter may or may not be present. Powered On - Power to the slot is turned On, but there is no adapter in the PCI slot. This may also appear, momentarily, prior to completing driver loading after a board replacement. Ready - Power to the slot is turned On, an adapter is in the slot, but there is no driver loaded for the adapter. Some boards do not require a driver to operate; for example, the HP TopTools Remote Control card in PCI slot 2. Active - Power to the slot is turned on, an adapter is in the slot, the adapter is using the loaded driver, and the adapter is operating correctly. Failed - The driver for this adapter (Hot Plug or non-Hot Plug) indicates a device failure. Only Hot Plug adapters can be removed and replaced without shutting down the system to replace with a good adapter of the same type. Degraded - A function on the multi-device adapter has failed, but other functions on the adapter continue to operate normally. Processing - This indicates an action of some kind is being performed on the slot or adapter, that is, the interface utility may be searching for the drive to load, or it may be unloading the driver before turning power off, etc. Slot Options Menu This menu appears on top of the Main Menu and lists the available options for changing or displaying the operational status of the PCI Hot Plug slot. See Figure 16 and Table 4. The options displayed in the Slot Options menu, just above the Slot Detailed Information topic, depend on three items: • The status of the PCI slot or PCI adapter board • The System Capabilities 22
