Install model 55x, 720, or attached expansion-unit, PCI adapters with system power on in i5/OS

You might need to install a PCI adapter. Use the procedure in this section to perform this task.

If the system is partitioned, see Installing new hardware for i5/OS® logical partitions before installing a new PCI adapter and then return here to continue the procedure.

If your system is managed by the Hardware Management Console (HMC), use the HMC to complete the steps for installing a PCI adapter. For instructions, see Install a feature using the Hardware Management Console.

Important:

If you are removing, installing or replacing a PCI-X double-wide, quad-channel Ultra320 SCSI RAID controller, review the Concurrent maintenance procedure in the PCI-X double-wide, quad-channel Ultra320 SCSI RAID Controller (FC 5739, 5778, 5781, 5782; CCIN 571F, 575B) topic, before proceeding with the instructions provided here.
If you are removing, installing or replacing a PCI-X DDR 1.5 GB cache SAS RAID Adapter, review the Concurrent maintenance procedure in the PCI-X DDR 1.5 GB cache SAS RAID Adapter topic, before proceeding with the instructions provided here.
If you are exchanging a 2766, 2787, or 280E Fibre Channel IOA, the external storage subsystem must be updated to use the world-wide port name of the new 2766, 2787, or 280E IOA. For instructions, see Updating the worldwide port name for a new 2766, 2787, or 280E IOA.
If you are replacing a 2748, 2757, 2763, 2767, 2778, 2780, 2782, 5702, 5703, 5709, or 570B storage IOA, take note of the following: Depending on the configuration of the system, the storage IOA cache may have been disabled to allow the attachment of OEM storage that emulates a load source drive. If you are replacing a storage IOA that has its cache disabled, configure the replacement IOA the same way as the IOA that you removed. If you remove hardware from the replacement IOA, return that hardware with the failed IOA.

To install a PCI adapter with the system power on in i5/OS, do the following:

Determine in which slot to place the PCI adapter by doing the following:
- Refer to PCI adapter placement in the system unit or expansion unit for information regarding slot restrictions for adapters used in this system.
- Determine if the adapter will be placed in the base system unit or an expansion unit.
  - If the adapter is to be placed into the base system unit, continue with this procedure by going to the next numbered step.
  - If the adapter is to be placed into an expansion unit that does not contain PCI adapter cassettes, continue with this procedure by going to the next numbered step.
  - If the adapter is to be placed into an expansion unit that contains PCI adapter cassettes, go to the procedures for adapters in adapter cassettes. See Model 560Q, 570, 590, 595 , and attached expansion units, PCI adapters and cassettes.
Perform the prerequisite tasks described in Before you begin.
Take appropriate precautions for avoiding electric shock and handling static-sensitive devices. For information, see Avoiding electric shock and Handling static-sensitive devices.
If you are installing a PCI adapter in a rack-mounted system or expansion unit, follow these steps. If you are servicing a stand-alone system, go to the next step.
- For the 55x system unit, the 0595, 5095, or D20 expansion unit, follow these steps:
  1. Open the front rack door.
  2. Place the system or expansion unit in the service position. See Place the rack-mounted system or expansion unit in the service position.
  3. Remove or open the service access cover as follows:
    - Remove the service access cover from the model 285, 51x, 52x, 55x, 710, or OpenPower 720
    - Open the model 0595, 5095, or D20 service access cover
- For all other rack-mounted expansion units, follow these steps:
  1. Open the back rack door.
  2. Remove the cover or covers. For instructions on removing covers, select the appropriate procedure from the following:
    - Remove the back door from the 5074, 5079, and 5094 expansion unit. These steps also apply to the 5294, 8294, and 9194 expansion units. When the cover is removed, remove the PCI adapter access plate.
    - Remove the back cover from the 0588 expansion unit. These steps also apply to the model 5088.
    - Open the model 0595, 5095, or D20 service access cover
If you are installing a PCI adapter in a stand-alone system or expansion unit, follow these steps:
- Remove the service access cover from the model 285, 51x, 52x, 55x, 710, or OpenPower 720
- Remove the back door and cover from the 5095 expansion unit
If necessary, remove the adapter expansion slot shield.
If necessary, remove the adapter from the antistatic package.
Attention: Avoid touching the components and gold-edge connectors on the adapter.
Place the adapter, component-side up, on a flat, antistatic surface.
Some PCI adapter cards are shipped from the manufacturer with a blue handle or support bracket along the back edge of the card. To use adapters of this type in this system, you must remove the blue handle or support bracket from the card.
Type strsst on the command line of the Main Menu and then press Enter.
Type your service tools user ID and service tools password on the System Service Tools (SST) Sign On display. Press Enter.
Select Start a service tool from the System Service Tools (SST) display and press Enter.
Select Hardware service manager from the Start a Service Tool display and press Enter.
Select Packaging hardware resources (system, frames, cards) from the Hardware Service Manager display. Press Enter.
Type 9 (Hardware contained within package) in the System Unit or Expansion Unit field of the unit where you are replacing the card. Press Enter.
Select the option to Include empty positions.
Select Concurrent Maintenance on the card position where you want to replace the card and then press Enter.
Select the option to Toggle LED blink off/on. A light-emitting diode (LED) blinks identifying the position you chose. Physically verify that this is the slot where you want to install the adapter.
Select the option to Toggle LED blink off/on to stop the blinking LED.
Rotate the adapter locking latch A counterclockwise as shown in Figure 1 or Figure 2.
Lift the black tab B attached to the adapter retainer assembly, and keep the black tab in a vertical position.
Remove the adapter filler plate if one is present. If an adapter is present in the slot you want to use, see the instruction in Remove model 55x, 720, or attached expansion-unit, PCI adapters and then return here.

Carefully grasp the adapter by its top edge, and align the adapter with the expansion slot and its connector on the system backplane.
Press the adapter firmly into its connector.
Secure the adapter. Lower the tab onto the PCI adapter faceplate. Rotate the adapter locking latches clockwise as shown in Figure 3 or Figure 4.
