Then add the adapter to the system. When finished, press Enter again to turn on slot power. The hot-plug LED will change its state to On. Now the adapter is integrated into the system and can be configured using AIX cfgmgr (Configuration manager).

Removal of adapters requires deconfiguration in AIX first. The adapter must be in a defined state or removed from the ODM.

Figure 8 shows an example of adding a hot-plug PCI adapter to a running system.

Software Requirements

The Model F80 requires AIX 4.3.3 with the AIX 4330-03 recommended maintenance package (APAR IY09047), which is included on all pre-installed systems and on the 04/2000 Update CD that ships with AIX 4.3.3 as of April 2000.

In addition, there is APAR IY09814, which includes additional fixes that were not available before the 4330-03 package was shipped. In order to install the Model F80 from CD, you need an AIX 4.3.3 CD dated 04/2000 (LCD4-0286-05) or later, because the system will not boot from older AIX 4.3.3 CDs. You can also download the actual maintenance level from the Internet to install the machine using NIM2. The URL to obtain the maintenance level is:
