4.2.13 Active/Cold Replacement Workflow of the PCI Expansion Unit


4.2.13 Active/Cold Replacement Workflow of the PCI Expansion Unit
You can perform active/cold replacement of a PCI expansion unit in the following configuration:
  1. Configuration connecting two or more SPARC M12-2S units to a physical partition
Table 4-20 shows the workflow for active/cold replacement of a PCI expansion unit.
Table 4-20 describes the procedure for replacing a FRU while the power cords of the PCI expansion unit are disconnected.
For replacement procedures for FRUs 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.
