Preparing a hot-plug card for removal
Before you remove a hot-plug card, you must verify that the devices residing on the card
are not currently in use. In most cases, the card you are removing is faulty and not
operating, but you must still first check to make sure the card is not in use by the operating
system. With the SunSwift or Dual FastEthernet and Dual SCSI card, do not use the
external tape drive, if installed, when removing the card. Make sure the tape drive does not
have a tape installed.
