Chapter 13 PCI Slot Device Replacement 13-5
2. From the OS, execute the cfgadm -a command to verify the Ap_Id of the PCI card.
Example: If the PCI card in PCI slot 3 of IOU#0 is replaced
The AP_Id (iou#0_pci#3) verified here is referred to as PCI_ApId, and the subsequent
explanations of cfgadm operations for the PCI card use the term PCI_ApId.
Caution – If you use the PCI Hot Plug (PHP) function on the servers with Oracle Solaris
10 9/10, or 142909-17 or later, enable the hotplug service as follows.
# svcadm enable hotplug
3. From the OS, execute the cfgadm -c unconfigure <PCI_ApId> command to
unconfigure the replacement target PCI card from the driver.
4. From the OS, execute the cfgadm -c disconnect <PCI_ApId> command to stop
supplying power to the replacement target PCI card.
5. From the OS, execute the cfgadm -a command to confirm that the status of the
PCI card has changed from "configured" to "unconfigured," and from "connected"
to "disconnected."
6. Blink the ATTENTION LED (amber) of the PCI card to be replaced.
7. 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 1-9)
