Enabling hot-plug PCI support, Hot-plug PCI adapter installation, Notes, and Play

Page 173 highlights

Notes 1. Refer to the documentation that comes with the adapter for information about required system resources. Then, make the appropriate jumper or switch settings on the adapter. 2. If you have a resource conflict, set the resources that are used by the ISA legacy adapter to [ Plug and Play ]. This will manually configure the ISA legacy adapter to that specific server resource. Once Plug and Play detects that a resource is not available, it will skip that resource, and reconfigure to other available system resources. (See "Plug and Play" on page 31.) Enabling hot-plug PCI support: The Netfinity 5500 M20 has hot-plug PCI capability. In order to enable this feature, you must install the operating system services for hot-plug PCI support code. To obtain the operating system hot-plug PCI support code, access the IBM Web site at: http://www.ibm.com/support/ Select Intel Processor Based Servers Support. From the Select family field, select Netfinity 5500 M20. Select Downloadable files. Attention All hot-plug operations must be done through the operating system console (or supported user interface). Failure to do this can result in a system hang or serious damage to the adapter card or system unit. Hot-plug PCI adapter installation: Use the following information for installing a hot-plug PCI adapter. If you want to remove a hot-plug adapter, reverse the steps. If the operating system supports hot-replace PCI adapters, you can replace a failing hot-plug PCI adapter with a new adapter of the same type without turning off power to the server. If the operating system and adapter also support the hot-add feature, you can install a new adapter without turning off the power to the server. The color orange on components or labels in the Netfinity 5500 M20 indicates hot-plug components. Netfinity 5500 M20 - Type 8662 165

Notes
1.
Refer to the documentation that comes with the
adapter for information about required system
resources.
Then, make the appropriate jumper
or switch settings on the adapter.
2.
If you have a resource conflict, set the resources
that are used by the ISA legacy adapter to [
Plug
and Play
]. This will manually configure the ISA
legacy adapter to that specific server resource.
Once Plug and Play detects that a resource is
not available, it will skip that resource, and
reconfigure to other available system resources.
(See “Plug and Play” on page
31.)
Enabling hot-plug PCI support:
The Netfinity 5500 M20 has hot-plug PCI capability.
In
order to enable this feature, you must install the operating
system services for hot-plug PCI support code.
To obtain
the operating system hot-plug PCI support code, access
the IBM Web site at:
Select
Intel Processor Based Servers Support
. From the
Select family
field, select
Netfinity 5500 M20
. Select
Downloadable files
.
Attention
All hot-plug operations must be done through the
operating system console (or supported user
interface).
Failure to do this can result in a system
hang or serious damage to the adapter card or system
unit.
Hot-plug PCI adapter installation:
Use the
following information for installing a hot-plug PCI adapter.
If you want to remove a hot-plug adapter, reverse the
steps.
If the operating system supports hot-replace PCI
adapters, you can replace a failing hot-plug PCI adapter
with a new adapter of the same type without turning off
power to the server.
If the operating system and adapter
also support the hot-add feature, you can install a new
adapter without turning off the power to the server.
The color orange on components or labels in the Netfinity
5500 M20 indicates hot-plug components.
