  9. 5.4.5 Inactive/Cold Addition Workflow of the PCI Expansion Unit

5.4.5 Inactive/Cold Addition Workflow of the PCI Expansion Unit


5.4.5 Inactive/Cold Addition Workflow of the PCI Expansion Unit
You can perform inactive/cold addition of a PCI expansion unit in the following configuration:
  1. Building block configuration where two or more physical partitions are operating
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 5-17 shows the workflow for inactive/cold addition of a PCI expansion unit.
