5.2.5 Active/Cold Addition Workflow of the PCI Expansion Unit
5.2.5 Active/Cold Addition Workflow of the PCI Expansion Unit
You can perform active/cold addition of a PCI expansion unit in the following configuration:
- Configuration connecting two or more SPARC M12-2S units to a physical partition
Before adding the PCI expansion unit, mount it in the rack. (See "3.4 Mounting the SPARC M12-2S and the PCI Expansion Unit in a Rack" in the Fujitsu SPARC M12-2S Installation Guide.)
Table 5-8 shows the workflow for active/cold addition of a PCI expansion unit.
