adapter.

 

This

 

device

 

driver

 

has

 

been

 

replaced

 

by

 

the

 

ipr

 

device

 

driver,

 

which

 

is

 

used

 

on

 

all

 

other

 

supported

 

distributions.

 

Information

 

on

 

using

 

the

 

ibmsis

 

device

 

driver

 

has

 

been

 

retained

 

in

 

this

 

chapter.

 

If

 

you

 

are

 

using

 

the

 

older

device

 

driver,

 

use

 

the

 

procedures

 

detailed

 

in

Attention:

  

Do

 

not

 

remove

 

the

 

PCI-X

 

Dual

 

Channel

 

Ultra320

 

SCSI

 

Adapter

 

from

 

its

 

antistatic

 

package

 

at

 

this

 

time.

 

To

 

install

 

the

 

adapter,

 

1.

    

Refer

 

to

 

the

 

option

 

installation

 

documentation

 

that

 

shipped

 

with

 

your

 

system

 

unit

 

to

 

perform

 

the

 

following:

 

a.

   

Some

 

systems

 

support

 

the

 

hot-plugging

 

of

 

adapters.

 

If

 

supported,

 

prepare

 

your

 

system

 

to

 

hot-plug

 

this

 

adapter

 

while

 

system

 

power

 

is

 

on.

 

Shut

 

down

 

your

 

system

 

unit

 

if

 

your

 

system

 

does

 

not

 

support

 

hot-plugging.

 

Note:

  

The

 

2.4

 

Linux

 

kernel

 

does

 

not

 

support

 

PCI

 

hot-plugging

 

for

 

SCSI

 

host

 

adapters.

 

b.

   

To

 

determine

 

if

 

any

 

placement

 

restrictions

 

apply

 

to

 

your

 

adapter,

 

refer

 

to

 

the

 

PCI

 

Adapter

 

Placement

 

Reference

 

guide.

 

c.

   

Install

 

the

 

PCI

 

Adapter

 

into

 

your

 

system

 

unit.

  

Attention

 

Failure

 

to

 

install

 

your

 

PCI

 

adapter

 

into

 

the

 

correct

 

slot

 

can

 

cause

 

your

 

adapter

 

or

 

system

 

unit

 

to

 

function

 

incorrectly.
