  9. 5.1.3 Active/Hot Addition Workflow of the PCI Expansion Unit

5.1.3 Active/Hot Addition Workflow of the PCI Expansion Unit


5.1.3 Active/Hot Addition Workflow of the PCI Expansion Unit
Before adding the PCI expansion unit, mount it in the rack. (See "3.3 Mounting the SPARC M12-2 and the PCI Expansion Unit in a Rack" in the Fujitsu SPARC M12-2 Installation Guide or "3.4 Mounting the SPARC M12-2S and the PCI Expansion Unit in a Rack" in the Fujitsu SPARC M12-2S Installation Guide.)
Table 5-3 shows the workflow for active/hot addition of the PCI expansion unit.
