Then add the adapter to the system. When finished, press Enter again to turn on
slot power. The hot-plug LED will change its state to On. Now the adapter is
integrated into the system and can be configured using AIX
cfgmgr (Configuration
manager).
Removal of adapters requires deconfiguration in AIX first. The adapter must be in
a defined state or removed from the ODM.
Figure 8 shows an example of adding a hot-plug PCI adapter to a running
system.

Software Requirements
The Model F80 requires AIX 4.3.3 with the AIX 4330-03 recommended
maintenance package (APAR IY09047), which is included on all pre-installed
systems and on the 04/2000 Update CD that ships with AIX 4.3.3 as of April
2000.
In addition, there is APAR IY09814, which includes additional fixes that were not
available before the 4330-03 package was shipped. In order to install the Model F80
from CD, you need an AIX 4.3.3 CD dated 04/2000 (LCD4-0286-05) or later,
because the system will not boot from older AIX 4.3.3 CDs. You can also
download the actual maintenance level from the Internet to install the machine
using NIM
