Chapter 2 PCI Hot Plug Utility for Novell NetWare • The desired PCI slot must be powered off. • The replacement PCI Hot Plug board must be identical to the board it replaces, or use the same software driver. NOTE Some full-length PCI boards have a plastic "handle" (board extender) on one end. If the handle interferes with the board's installation, remove the handle from the board. Do not bend the board to make it fit. 1. Read the documentation included with the adapter board and follow any special instructions provided. CAUTION To prevent a system crash or hang do not attempt this procedure if you are unable to turn off power to the PCI Hot Plug slot. 2. Verify the Power LED above the desired PCI slot on the rear panel is off. CAUTION When handling electronic components, wear a wrist strap and use a static-dissipating work surface connected to the chassis when handling components. Ensure the metal of the wrist strap contacts your skin. 3. Remove the PCI board from its protective packaging. CAUTION Do not bend the PCI board to install it into the slot. If the full-length PCI board has a handle on the end of the board that prevents its installation, remove the handle before installing the board. 4. If the PCI board is a full-length board, with a handle attached to its end, remove the handle before installing the board into the slot. 5. Align the board with its slot, along its full length, and position it into the slot. See Figure 28. 6. Push the PCI board down into its PCI connector in the I/O baseboard. 37
