Hot Adding or Replacing Hot-Plug PCI Boards

The PCI Hot-Plug option is NOS-dependent. To use the Hot-Plug option, the PCI
board must have a hot-plug compliant driver and a Hot-Plug Utility for the
respective NOS. The Hot-Plug Utility is used to turn power off/on to the PCI slot,
while the HP NetServer continues to operate normally. Refer to the PCI Hot-Plug
Replacement procedures in Information Assistant for the NOS you are using.
To view the respective Hot-Plug (NOS ) procedures:
1. Make sure that the HP NetServer Online Documentation CD-ROM
(Information Assistant) is installed on a computer. See Chapter 11 for
installation instructions.
2. Select NetServers L-Series button.
