Replacing a Card Online
Replacing an existing card to a slot is made easy with the three-step process provided by the Peripheral
Device Tool. This action is active only when the selected slot is capable of an OL* card replacement.
IMPORTANT You must replace an existing card with the same type of card. In other words, the card that you
want to use as a replacement must use the same drivers as the existing card. For example, you
cannot replace a LAN card with a SCSI card.
Before beginning, be sure to familiarize yourself with the OL* concepts in “Understanding How the Tool
Works” on page 24.
IMPORTANT Do not attempt to physically replace a card before beginning the replace process within the
Peripheral Device Tool GUI. You will be prompted to replace the cards in the target slot at the
appropriate point in the process.
Preliminary actions to replace a card in a slot:
A. Select a card from those listed on the OLRAD Cards tab.
