Installing the System Installing Additional Components Hot-Plug Procedures The hot-plug procedures described in this section use the hardware interface only. Software interface procedures are described in Table 1-10 on page 57. IMPORTANT Before adding or replacing a PCI/PCI-X card, determine whether that card is critical to the server operation. If you replace a card that is still operating and it is a critical resource to the server, you can cause undesired system downtime. OLA Before installing a PCI/PCI-X card, ensure that the proper drivers for that PCI/PCI-X card are installed. NOTE If you are installing the Graphics Kit A6150B, use slots 3-8. However, DO NOT install the included USB card. The server currently supports USB and the ports are already located on the rear of the server. If you are installing the RAID card A7143A, you must install it into slot 8. If you install this card in any other slot, it interferes with the manual retention latch (MRL) on the OLX divider in the next slot. Because of this interference, you can install only two RAID cards in the server in slot 1 and slot 8. To add a PCI/PCI-X card into an empty slot, follow these steps: Step 1. If rack-mounted, slide the server out from the rack until it stops. (See "Extend the Server from the Rack" on page 22.) Step 2. Remove the top cover from the chassis. (See "Removing the Top Cover" on page 30.) Step 3. Choose an empty slot and pull up on the MRL located on the OLX divider approximately 75 degrees. (Figure 1-33) CAUTION Do not pull up on the MRL of a powered on, occupied slot or the server will crash. For instructions on how to power off an occupied slot, see "OLR" on page 64. 60 Chapter 1

Hot-Plug Procedures
The hot-plug procedures described in this section use the hardware interface only. Software interface
procedures are described in Table 1-10 on page 57.
IMPORTANT
Before adding or replacing a PCI/PCI-X card, determine whether that card is critical to the
server operation. If you replace a card that is still operating and it is a critical resource to the
server, you can cause undesired system downtime.
OLA
Before installing a PCI/PCI-X card, ensure that the proper drivers for that PCI/PCI-X card are installed.
NOTE
If you are installing the Graphics Kit A6150B, use slots 3-8. However, DO NOT install the
included USB card. The server currently supports USB and the ports are already located on the
rear of the server.
If you are installing the RAID card A7143A, you must install it into slot 8. If you install this
card in any other slot, it interferes with the manual retention latch (MRL) on the OLX divider
in the next slot. Because of this interference, you can install only two RAID cards in the server
in slot 1 and slot 8.
To add a PCI/PCI-X card into an empty slot, follow these steps:
Step 1.
If rack-mounted, slide the server out from the rack until it stops. (See “Extend the Server from the
Rack” on page 22.)
Step 2.
Remove the top cover from the chassis. (See “Removing the Top Cover” on page 30.)
Step 3.
Choose an empty slot and pull up on the MRL located on the OLX divider approximately 75
degrees. (Figure 1-33)
CAUTION
Do not pull up on the MRL of a powered on, occupied slot or the server will crash. For
instructions on how to power off an occupied slot, see “OLR” on page 64.
