Installing a hot-plug PCI card

To install a card:

1. Enter:

cfgadm

This displays the PCI card configuration before you add a card. Make sure the slot is
available for a new card. Recheck the configuration after you have added the card.

2. Make sure that the front panel key switch is not in the locked position. If it is, move the

key switch to the diagnostic or normal position.

3. Open the left door.

4. Attach one end of an ESD antistatic wrist strap to the system chassis sheet metal and

attach the other end to your wrist. See

Using an ESD wrist strap

on page 58 for more

information.

5. Identify the slot in which you want to install a card.

6. If not already done, pinch the purple PCI card retaining clip until it releases from the

back of the card and rotate the clip outward. See the following figure.

7. If not already done, remove the filler panel from the slot.

8. Confirm that all three LEDs for the slot are off.
