4.2.2 Precautions for Addition


4.2.2 Precautions for Addition
The following describes precautions for addition.
  1. For PCIe card addition using PHP, a multipath setting is necessary depending on the use of the PCIe cards.
  2. To perform active addition using PHP, confirm that the card is PHP enabled. To do so, check "Appendix B Cards That Support PCI Hot Plug and Dynamic Reconfiguration" in the Fujitsu SPARC M12 PCI Card Installation Guide or "Appendix A Cards That Support PCI Hot Plug and Dynamic Reconfiguration" in the Fujitsu M10/SPARC M10 Systems PCI Card Installation Guide.
  3. If you perform active addition by combining PHP with dynamic SR-IOV or the dynamic reconfiguration function for PCIe end point devices, see the following manual to check cards that support these functions.

  4. To add a PCIe card, remove the filler unit from the PCIe card cassette. Store the removed filler in a safe place because it will be needed if you subsequently remove the PCIe card.
  5. For details on the work for adding a PCI expansion unit, see the Installation Guide for your server.
