Installing or removing PCI cards
Use the following general instructions when installing, moving, and removing PCI cards.
Other sections in this chapter describe specific PCI card maintenance instructions. Use
those instructions as appropriate.
Note:

you install any PCI cards.
To install or remove a card:
1. For a system currently in operation, verify that you have a recent CMSADM file system
backup before you change card configurations.
2. Enter:
/usr/sbin/shutdown -y -i0 -g0
This shuts down the system.
3. Turn off the system.
4. Turn off the system monitor.
5. Turn off all external SCSI devices starting with the device closest to the system and
working toward the farthest device.
!WARNING:
WARNING: You must wear an ESD wrist strap when installing or removing hardware
components to prevent electrical discharge that can damage the system.
6. Remove the cover of the Ultra 5.
7. Disconnect the AC power cord.
