Hot-Pluggable PCI Adapter Removal
Note: Removing a hot-pluggable PCI adapter requires the system administrator to take
the PCI adapter offline before performing any PCI 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.
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 available at the following Web address:
http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/aix/library/. Select Technical Publications.
This publication is also contained on the AIX Documentation CD. The
documentation is made accessible by loading the documentation CD onto the
hard disk or by mounting the CD in the CD-ROM drive.
To remove a hot-pluggable PCI adapter, do the following:
1. On a Model 6C4, open the front and rear rack doors and put the system into the
service position as described in “Placing the Model 6C4 into the Service Position”
on page 53.
On a Model 6E4, open the bezel door.
2. Remove the service access cover as described in “Service Access Cover Removal
(Model 6C4)” on page 55 or “Service Access Cover Removal (Model 6E4)” on
page 57.
3. Determine which adapters you plan to remove. Label and disconnect all cables
attached to that adapter.
4. Record the slot number and location of each adapter being removed.
Note: Adapter slots are numbered on the rear of the system unit.
5. Ensure that any processes or applications that might use the adapter are stopped.
6. Refer to “PCI Hot-Plug Manager Access” on page 73, and follow the steps in the
access procedure to select PCI Hot Plug Manager. Then return here to continue.
