Removing/Replacing a Hot–Pluggable PCI Adapter
Perform the following steps to remove a hot–pluggable adapter:
1. If you have not already done so, remove the front, rear, and left covers as described in
”Removing the Covers” on page 3-4.
2. Determine the slot from which you are removing the adapter.
3. Ensure that the any processes or applications that might use the adapter are stopped.
Note: Removing a hot–pluggable PCI adapter requires the system administrator to take
the PCI adapter offline before performing the any PCI adapter hot–plug procedures.
Before taking an adapter offline, the devices attached to the adapter must be taken
offline as well. This action prevents a service representative or user from causing an
unexpected outage for system users.
For additional information about taking an adapter offline or removing it from the
system configuration, see the AIX System Management Guide: Operating System
and Devices. This publication is also contained on the Hypertext Library CD. The
documentation information is made accessible by loading the documentation CD
onto the hard disk or by mounting the CD in the CD–ROM drive.
