This section gives the procedure for installing a hot-plug PCI adapter. If your operating system supports hot-plug PCI adapters, you can replace a failing hot-plug PCI adapter with a new adapter of the same type without turning off power to the server. If your operating system and adapter also support the hot-add feature, you can install a new adapter without turning off the power to the server.

Before you begin:

vReview the information in “Before you begin” on page 50 and “Working inside the server with the power on” on page 50

vRead the documentation that comes with your adapter for any special requirements or restrictions.

vRead the documentation that comes with your operating system.
