1.2 Extracting the LSI7202CP

The LSI7202CP is a component that you can extract from a hot-swap compliant system without interrupting the operation of the system. You can also extract the adapter if installing it in a cold environment after you power down the system.

You must determine whether you want to perform a cold extraction of the adapter or a hot extraction. In a cold extraction, you must shut down the system’s operating system and power down the system before extracting the adapter. In a hot-swap extraction, you may be required to enter software commands before and after the extraction to detach the adapter from the system correctly.

Note : The following procedures provide a general overview of the tasks needed to prepare for either a hot or cold extraction. For the specific procedures required for your system, refer to the documentation that shipped with your system.

1.2.1 Cold Environment Extraction

Before extracting your adapter, ensure that all significant application activity on the server has stopped. To extract the LSI7202CP, follow these steps.

Step 1. Refer to the system’s documentation for the complete power down procedure and location of the power switch.

Step 2. Press the power switch to power down the system.

Step 3. Verify that the system’s power LED is OFF, which indicates that the system is completely powered off.

Step 4. Extract the LSI7202CP after the system has been shut down and powered off.

1.2.2 Hot Environment Extraction

Refer to your system’s hardware user’s manual for complete instructions regarding hot environment extraction.
