Enabling hot-plug PCI support: The Netfinity 5600 server 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/pc/support Click on IBM Server Support. From the select family field, click on Netfinity 5600. Click on 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. Installing a hot-plug PCI adapter: This section gives the procedure 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. Note You do not need to turn the server off to install or remove a hot-plug PCI adapter. Before you begin: Read "Safety information" on page 230. Read the documentation that comes with the adapter for any special requirements or restrictions. Read the documentation that comes with the operating system. 110 Netfinity Server HMM
