4.3.6 Inactive/Hot Replacement Workflow of the PCI Expansion Unit
You can perform inactive/hot replacement of a PCI expansion unit in the following configuration:
  1. Building block configuration where two or more physical partitions are operating
Table 4-28 shows the workflow for inactive/hot replacement of a PCI expansion unit.
Table 4-28 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.
