Note:
2000 with the PCI hot-plug driver installed.
To install a hot-plug PCI add-in board:
1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions listed at the beginning of this
chapter.
2. On the rear panel, check the status of the LED of the slot into which you are
installing the hot-plug PCI board. See Figure 4-21. If the LED for the slot
indicates that power to the slot is on, turn it off by using the PCI hot-plug
application software on your system. Ensure the LED adjacent to the slot is
OFF before continuing with this procedure.
3. Remove the rear access cover by following procedures previously described
in this chapter.
4. Open the latches on the front and rear retention mechanisms.
See Figure 4-22.
5. Prepare the new PCI board for installation:
!
Remove the add-in board from its protective wrapper. Be careful to not
touch the components or gold edge connectors. Place the board with the
component side up on an antistatic surface.
!
Record the serial number of the new add-in board in your equipment
log.
!
Set jumpers or switches according to the manufacturer instructions.
6. On the edge opposite the connectors, grasp the board by both corners. Orient
the board to the vacant hot-plug slot so that the metal retention bracket is
toward the rear of the chassis.
