7.3.2 Cold Removal


7.3.2 Cold Removal
This section describes the cold removal workflow.
References to detailed descriptions are written in the work procedure tables. See any of them as required.
Cold removal work varies depending on the method of releasing the link card mounted on the destination server. The following are the work patterns.
Cold Removal (Releasing the Link Card After Stopping the System)
Cold removal of a PCI Express card from the PCI expansion unit can be performed after stopping the system to which the PCI expansion unit is connected. This operation can be done when the connection destination of the PCI expansion unit is the SPARC M12-1/M12-2/M12-2S/M10-1/M10-4/M10-4S.

Cold Removal (Releasing the Link Card Using PHP)
Cold removal of a PCI Express card from the PCI expansion unit can be performed after releasing the link card mounted on the destination server from the system using PCI hot plug (PHP). This can be done only when the connection destination of the PCI expansion unit is the SPARC M12-2/M12-2S/M10-4/M10-4S and the setting for the direct I/O function is disabled.
