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
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.
