Installing Accessory Boards

NOTE To perform a hot add, or a hot replacement when the HP
NetServer is powered up, refer to help information provided on
the HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM provided with your
NetServer.
Use this procedure to install all PCI accessory boards for the following situations:
The initial installation of PCI Hot Plug boards
All PCI boards without hot-plug compliant drivers installed or removed in
slots 1 through 8.
Read the documentation included with each board and follow any special
instructions provided.
CAUTION
For non-Hot Plug PCIs:
To prevent a system crash or hang, never open the PCI latch
and retainer of a PCI board with the NetServer powered on.
Always turn power off to the NetServer before opening the
PCI latch and retainer.
For Hot Plug PCIs:
Only a PCI Hot Plug utility allows you to turn power off to the
slot, before opening the PCI latch and retainer with power
applied to the NetServer.
The installation procedure is the same for the rack-mount and the pedestal
NetServers once you gain access to the I/O board.
1. Log off all users and gracefully shut down the network operating system
according to directions in your NOS documentation.
2. Power down the NetServer according to the instructions in Chapter 2,
"Controls, Ports, and Indicators."
3. Disconnect the power cords and cables and, if necessary, label each one to
support re-assembly.
CAUTION
The power supplies will continue to provide standby current to
the NetServer until the power cables are disconnected.
