  9. 6.2.1 Active/Cold Removal Workflow of a PCIe Card

6.2.1 Active/Cold Removal Workflow of a PCIe Card


6.2.1 Active/Cold Removal Workflow of a PCIe Card
You can perform active/cold removal of a PCIe card in the following configuration:
  1. Configuration connecting two or more SPARC M12-2S units to a physical partition
Before removing a PCIe card, see "Precautions for PCIe card removal" in "7.3 Precautions for FRU Reduction."
Table 6-4 shows the workflow for active/cold removal of a PCIe card.
