PCI I/O OL* Card Methods
The following are three methods for performing OL* operations on
PCI I/O cards:
pdweb
The Peripheral Device Tool (
pdweb
) Web-based method of performing
OL*.
olrad
The command-line method of performing OL*.
Attention button
The hardware system slot based method of performing OL*.
Adding a PCI I/O Card Using the Attention Button
The following prerequisites for this procedure:
•
Drivers for the card have already been installed.
•
No drivers are associated with the slot.
•
The green power LED is steady
OFF
. If the empty slot is in the
ON
state, use the
olrad
command or the
pdweb
tool to power the slot
OFF
.
•
The yellow attention LED is steady
OFF
or is blinking if a user has requested the slot location.
•
See the host bus adapter (HBA) documentation for details on card installation.
•
Run the
olrad -q
command to determine the status of all the PCI I/O slots.
•
Obtain a copy of the interface card guide for instructions on preparing the operating system
for the online addition of the PCI I/O card before attempting to insert a PCI I/O card into
the PCI-X card cage assembly backplane slot.
This procedure describes how to perform an
online addition
of a PCI card using the attention
button for cards whose drivers support online addition or replacement (OLAR). The attention
button is also referred to as the doorbell.
1.
Remove the top cover.
2.
Remove the PCI bulkhead filler panel.
3.
Flip the PCI manual release latch (MRL) for the card slot to the open position. See

NOTE:
Apply a slow, firm pressure to properly seat the card into the backplane.
5.
Flip the PCI MRL for the card slot to the closed position.
CAUTION:
Working out of sequence or not completing the actions within each step could
