PCI-X adapter removal
To remove a PCI-X adapter, perform the following steps:
1. Determine which adapters you plan to remove.
2. Record the slot number and location of each adapter being removed.
Note:
Adapter slots are numbered on the back of the system unit.
3. Ensure that any processes or applications that might use the adapter are stopped. Removing a PCI-X
adapter requires the system administrator to take the PCI-X adapter offline before performing any
PCI-X adapter hot-plug procedures. Before taking an adapter offline, the devices attached to the
adapter must also be taken offline. This action prevents a service representative or user from causing
an unexpected outage for system users.
4. From the PCI-X Hot-Plug Manager menu, select
List PCI-X Hot-Plug Slots
. This provides a
descriptive list of all six slots in the NAS Gateway 500 and the device names in each slot. Record all
of the device names associated with the slots to be emptied.
5. From the PCI-X Hot-Plug Manager menu, select
Unconfigure a Device
. This step must be
completed successfully before starting any removal or replacement operation. If this step fails, the
customer must take action to release the device.

with the adapter that you are removing.
b. Use the Tab key to answer NO to

Once the devices are unconfigured, they will display as unknown on the
List PCI-X
Hot-Plug Slots
menu.
6. Label and disconnect all cables attached to that adapter.
7. Select
Replace/Remove a PCI-X Hot-Plug Adapter
and press
Enter
to display the Replace/Remove
a PCI-X Hot-Plug Adapter menu.
8. Move the cursor to select the adapter that you are removing and press
Enter
. (The description entry
is
unknown
).
9. Press the Tab key until the entry field displays the remove operation and then press
Enter
. Follow the
instructions on the screen until you are instructed to remove the adapter.
10. The selected PCI-X slot will go into the Identify state. Press
Enter
again. The selected PCI-X slot will
go into the Action state. See “Component LEDs” on page 384.
