1.2 Workflow for Installing the PCI Expansion Unit
1.2 Workflow for Installing the PCI Expansion Unit
The PCI expansion unit is a 2U chassis with 11 PCI slots, and it can connect to the SPARC M10-1. Special attention must be paid to the installation location and the number of link cards that can be installed for the SPARC M10-1 when the PCI expansion unit is installed in the SPARC M10-1. Install link cards according to the Table 1-2 rules.
Maximum installable number | Link card installation location |
---|---|
2 | PCI#0 PCI#1 |
Note - For details on the link card installation rule, see "Chapter 1 PCI Card Mounting Rules for the SPARC M10-1" in the Fujitsu M10/SPARC M10 Systems PCI Card Installation Guide. |
This section describes the workflow from installing the PCI expansion unit to checking the component status when the PCI expansion unit is installed while the system is stopped.
