  9. 5.2.1 Active/Cold Addition Workflow of a PCIe Card

5.2.1 Active/Cold Addition Workflow of a PCIe Card


5.2.1 Active/Cold Addition Workflow of a PCIe Card
You can perform active/cold addition of a PCIe card in the following configuration:
  1. Configuration connecting two or more SPARC M12-2S units to a physical partition
Table 5-4 shows the workflow for active/cold addition of a PCIe card.
