page 34 for information about changing the boot
precedence.
Note
The performance of the PCI adapters depends
on the configuration of adapters in the system.
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.
