IBM H80 Series manual Identify, Slot, After

The Identify

a

PCI

Hot

Plug

Slot

function

is

used

to

help

identify

the

location of

a

PCI hot-plug adapter. The function

lists

all

the

PCI

slots that

are

occupied

or

empty

and

support

hot

plug.

When

a

slot

is selected

for

identification,

the

visual

indicator

for

the

slot

is

set

to

the

Identify

state.

The Unconfigure

Devices

function

attempts

to

put

the

selected

device,

in

the

PCI

hot-plug slot, into

the

Defined

state. This

action

must

be

done

before

any

attempted

hot-plug

function. If

the

unconfigure

function

fails,

it

is

possible

that

the

device is

in

use

by

another

application. In

this

case,

the

customer

or system administrator

must be

notified

to

deactivate

the

device.

The Configure

Devices

function

allows

of

a

newly

added

adapter

to

be

configured

into the system for use. This function should

also

be

done

when

a

new

adapter

is

added

to

the system.

The Install/Configure

Devices

Added

After

IPL

function attempts to install the

necessary software packages for any

newly added devices. The software installation

media

or

packages

are

required

for

this

function.

Standalone Diagnostics has restrictions on using the PCI Hot-Plug Manager. For example:

ŸAdapters that are replaced must be exactly the same FRU part number as the adapter being replaced.

ŸNew adapters cannot be added unless a device of the same FRU part number

already exists in the system, because the configuration								information for the new
adapter		is	not	known	after	the	Standalone Diagnostics are	booted.
Ÿ The	following		functions		are	not	available from the Standalone	Diagnostics and
will	not	display		in the list:

– Add a PCI Hot Plug Adapter

–Configure Devices

–Install/Configure Devices Added After IPL
