4.2.2 Active/Cold Replacement Workflow of a PCIe Card
4.2.2 Active/Cold Replacement Workflow of a PCIe Card
You can perform active/cold replacement of a PCIe card in the following configuration:
- Configuration connecting two or more SPARC M12-2S units to a physical partition
Before replacing the PCIe card, see "Precautions for PCIe card replacement" in "7.1 Precautions for FRU Replacement."
Table 4-9 shows the workflow for active/cold replacement of a PCIe card.
