Installing the System Installing Additional Components Step 6. Replace the front bezel onto the chassis. (See "Replacing the Front Bezel" on page 29.) Hot-Pluggable PCI/PCI-X The HP 9000 rp4410 and rp4440 servers support PCI/PCI-X hot-pluggable technology and includes six hot-pluggable PCI/PCI-X slots. Hot-Pluggable PCI/PCI-X Operations PCI/PCI-X hot-pluggable technology enables the following operations. For procedures with step-by-step instructions describing how to add, replace, delete, and locate PCI/PCI-X cards, see "Hot-Plug Procedures" on page 60. • Online Addition (OLA) You can install new PCI/PCI-X expansion cards in empty slots without powering off the server. • Online Replacement (OLR) You can replace a previously occupied slot with a new PCI/PCI-X expansion card by suspending the driver. This operation combines removing an active card and replacing it with an equivalent card. The existing driver for the old card must be compatible with the new card. CAUTION A special OLR requirement for HP-UX 11i v1 (and higher) is that the card to be replaced must be exactly the same as the removed card. This is also called like-for-like replacement. • PCI/PCI-X Slot Locate (Locate) To easily locate the PCI/PCI-X slot at which to perform a hot-pluggable operation, you can command the attention LEDs on the OLX divider and the I/O baseboard to blink and act as visual cues to the active slot location. This operation is always initiated through a software or Web interface, and is optional to the operating system on the server.

Step 6.
Replace the front bezel onto the chassis. (See “Replacing the Front Bezel” on page 29.)
Hot-Pluggable PCI/PCI-X
The HP 9000 rp4410 and rp4440 servers support PCI/PCI-X hot-pluggable technology and includes six
hot-pluggable PCI/PCI-X slots.
Hot-Pluggable PCI/PCI-X Operations
PCI/PCI-X hot-pluggable technology enables the following operations. For procedures with step-by-step
instructions describing how to add, replace, delete, and locate PCI/PCI-X cards, see “Hot-Plug Procedures” on
page 60.
•
Online Addition (OLA)
You can install new PCI/PCI-X expansion cards in empty slots without powering off the server.
•
Online Replacement (OLR)
You can replace a previously occupied slot with a new PCI/PCI-X expansion card by suspending the driver.
This operation combines removing an active card and replacing it with an equivalent card. The existing
driver for the old card must be compatible with the new card.
CAUTION
A special OLR requirement for HP-UX 11i v1 (and higher) is that the card to be replaced
must be exactly the same as the removed card. This is also called like-for-like replacement.
•
PCI/PCI-X Slot Locate (Locate)
To easily locate the PCI/PCI-X slot at which to perform a hot-pluggable operation, you can command the
attention LEDs on the OLX divider and the I/O baseboard to blink and act as visual cues to the active slot
location. This operation is always initiated through a software or Web interface, and is optional to the
operating system on the server.
