Maintaining PCI cards

Maintaining HSI/P cards (R3V11 on V880 only)

An HSI/P card supports X.25 switch links. For eight links, two HSI/P cards and two quad cables are needed. If the system uses TCP/IP signaling for all links, HSI/P cards are not needed. HSI/ P cards are not supported for CMS R12 and later.

! Important:

The HSI/P card does not support hot-plug operation. You must shut down the system and turn off power before installing or replacing a card.

This section includes the following topics:

●Replacing an HSI/P card on page 83

●Installing the first HSI/P card or a pair of HSI/P cards on page 88

●Installing HSI/P software and patches on page 91

●Setting up the switch link for each ACD on page 91

●Adding a second HSI/P card on page 93

If you are replacing a defective HSI/P card, see Replacing an HSI/P card on page 83. If this is the initial installation of one or two HSI/P cards, start with Installing the first HSI/P card or a pair of HSI/P cards on page 88. If a second HSI/P card is being added to a system already in operation, see Adding a second HSI/P card on page 93.

Replacing an HSI/P card

To replace an HSI/P card:

1.Log in to the system as root.

2.Enter: cfgadm

This displays the PCI card configuration before you replace a card. Recheck the configuration after you have replaced the card.

3.Enter:

/usr/sbin/shutdown -y -i0 -g0

This shuts down the system.

4.Press and release the front panel power button to turn off the system. Wait for the front panel Power/OK LED to turn off.
