4.1.6 Active/Hot Replacement Workflow of the PCI Expansion Unit


4.1.6 Active/Hot Replacement Workflow of the PCI Expansion Unit
Table 4-7 shows the workflow for active/hot replacement of a FRU in a PCI expansion unit.
Table 4-7 describes the procedure for replacing a FRU while the power cords of the PCI expansion unit are disconnected.
For the work of active/hot replacement of a PCIe card mounted in a PCI expansion unit, see "4.1.2 Active/Hot Replacement Workflow of a PCIe Card."
For replacement procedures for FRUs (power supply unit and fan unit) that can be replaced while the power cords of the PCI expansion unit are connected, see "7.1.1 Hot Replacement" in the PCI Expansion Unit for Fujitsu SPARC M12 and Fujitsu M10/SPARC M10 Service Manual.
