Chapter 13 PCI Slot Device Replacement 13-17
13.3 Hot Replacement
The procedure for hot replacement is as follows.
1. Unlock and open a door of the server.
For details, see Chapter 5.
Caution – Before touching FRU or the dummy (filler) unit, see Section 1.4,
“Antistatic Precautions” on page 1-6 and be sure to wear the antistatic wrist strap.
Failure to do so might result in serious damage to operating domains.
2. Turn off power to the relevant domain.
From a console that is connected to XSCF, log in to XSCF, and execute the
poweroff -d command.
The shutdown processing is executed for the relevant domain, and then the
power-off processing is executed.
3. Confirm that the power-off processing is completed by confirming that the
POWER LED (green) on the PCI card is off.
4. Connect the clip of the antistatic wrist strap and of the antistatic mat to the
server grounding port. See Section 1.4, “Antistatic Precautions” on page 1-6.
5. Ensure that the metallic underside of the wrist strap is in direct contact with
your skin. The wrist strap should be snug around the wrist so that it does not
rotate. See Section 1.4, “Antistatic Precautions” on page 1-6.
Caution – Before handling FRUs, be sure to connect the clip of the antistatic wrist
strap and of the antistatic mat to the server grounding port, and attach the band of
the wrist strap to one of your wrists. Place the FRUs on the grounded antistatic mat.
Failure to take these antistatic measures might result in serious damage.
