2. Press the attention button. See Figure 6-22. The green power LED will start to blink and then turn steady Off. If the green power LED does not go Off, then check the hotplugd daemon log file (default: /var/adm/ hotplugd.log) for errors, and do not proceed further. NOTE: If the attention button is pressed a second time during the first five seconds while the green LED is blinking, the operation is cancelled and the power to the slot remains on.

Flip the PCI MRL for the card slot to the closed position. 3. Press the attention button. The green power LED starts to blink. 4. Wait for the green power LED to stop blinking and turn solid green. 5. Check for errors in the hotplugd daemon log file (default: /var/adm/hotplugd.log). 6.

The critical resource analysis (CRA) performed while doing an attention button initiated replace action is very restrictive and the action will not complete-it will fail-to protect critical resources from being impacted.
