Adding I/O expansion units

Learn how to add an input/output (I/O) expansion unit to the system and verify that it is functioning.

You might be able to add an I/O expansion unit to your system with the system powered on and logical partitions active. You can add an I/O expansion unit with the system powered on and logical partitions active if your configuration meets one of the following requirements:
  • Your system is managed by an IBM Hardware Management Console (HMC).
  • Your system is not managed by an HMC, but has only one partition, and that partition is running the IBM® i operating system.

If your configuration does not meet any of the requirements specified above, you must power off the system to add the I/O expansion unit.
