1 PCI Hot Plug Utility for Windows NT

Opening the Hot Plug Utility

Use this topic only for Microsoft's Windows NT 4.0 on the HP NetServer LXr

8500 using the software utility to perform PCI Hot Plug Replacement (or Online

Replacement) operations. This topic and its subsequent topics describe how to

turn power Off and On to the PCI slots (P1-P10) using the PCI Hot Plug Utility.

For Novell's NetWare 5 NOS, go to the topics under Chapter 2 "Hot Plug

Replacement (NetWare)".

CAUTION To prevent a system crash or hang, never remove a PCI board

from a slot with power on. Always use the Hot Plug Utility to

turn power off to the Hot Plug slot before performing any

replacements.

The PCI board is only Hot Plug-capable if it has a hot plug compliant driver

available and installed on the HP NetServer. If the PCI board is not Hot Plug-

capable, remove and replace the board with the HP NetServer's power turned off.

Microsoft’s Windows NT 4.0 does not, by itself, support hot plug replacement,

but HP Configuration Assistant on the HP Navigator CD-ROM, installs the PCI

Hot Plug Utility on the NT server, along with the system software and the drivers

for some of the HP supported PCI Hot Plug boards. Through this Utility,

Windows NT 4.0 does support hot replacement of identical boards. The PCI Hot

Plug Utility is also found in the diskette library on the Navigator CD-ROM. If

using manual installation, follow the installation instructions found in the

readme.txt file to install the Utility on the NT NetServer.

The Hot Plug Utility is used to replace the PCI Hot Plug board in a four-step

process:

1. Turning power off to the PCI slot

2. Removing the PCI board

3. Replacing the PCI board

4. Turning power on to the PCI slot

The Hot Plug Utility is used to turn power off to the PCI slot before removing the

PCI board, and then after replacing the PCI board, it is used to turn power back on

Chapter 1 Server Administration Using HP TopTools

to the PCI slot. Refer to the Help File for a description of the PCI Hot Plug

Utility's buttons and functions.

NOTE The Power Button is the only button required to do basic Hot

Plug Replacement.

Opening the PCI Hot Plug Utility

Use this procedure to open the PCI Hot Plug Utility in Windows NT 4.0.

NOTE If the left P (Power) LED is lit (green) in the PCI Hot Plug

Utility, the corresponding Power LED on the rear panel will be

green. This is also true for the right A (Attention) LED; that is,

if the right A (Attention) LED is lit (red) in the PCI Hot Plug

Utility, the corresponding Attention LED on the rear panel will

be amber.

1. In Windows NT 4.0, click on the Start button and then select the

Programs menu.

2. From the Programs menu, select PCI Hot Plug and then select the PCI Hot

Plug Utility.

A display similar to the example shown in Figure 1 appears.

This example has 9 slots filled with PCI boards. Slot 1 shows no board

installed and slot 2 has no hot plug compliant driver. Slots 2 to 6 and 9 to

10 all have power applied to the slot, shown by the P (Power) LED turned

on, (left P LEDs are green with Normal in status field) and are operating

normally. Slot 7 has a left P LED on (green), but also has a fault condition

indicated by the right A (Attention) LED (red), with its status field

displaying Link Fault, suggesting a corrective action. Slot 8 has a green P

LED, but has *Mixed – multiple device board (represents a multifunction

adapter) in the status field. See Help file for more information about

functions and buttons.

3. If no hot plug support appears under Board in the Utility's window

instead of the desired PCI board, one of the following conditions might be

true:

àThe PCI Hot Plug board is not supported by a hot plug compliant

software driver.

àThe software driver for the PCI Hot Plug board is not properly installed

and loaded.

See Windows NT Help for how to load drivers.

àThe PCI board may not use a driver, or the driver is defective.

NOTE If you have a board without a hot plug compliant driver in one

of the hot plug slots, the board will show up in the Utility as no

hot plug support, and the Utility will not allow you to power

down the slot.

4. Identify the physical location of the desired PCI Hot Plug board, using the

PCI Hot Plug Utility and Figures 2 and 3.

Powering Down a PCI Slot

Use this topic to select and power down a PCI slot on the I/O baseboard.

1. Select the desired PCI slot (slot P7) to replace by pointing to it with the

mouse cursor. See Figure 4.

This example has a red A (Attention) LED fault condition associated with

it.

2. Left click on the desired slot (slot P7) with the mouse.

Figure 4. Selecting PCI Slot to Turn Power Off

CAUTION Opening a PCI hold-down latch with power applied to the slot

may result in a system crash or hang. Always use the Utility to

first power off the slot. Turning off power to any slot will stop

all input (I/O) or services associated with the board while

power is turned off to the slot.

3. Click on the Power button in the upper right of the screen. See Figure 1.

A pop-up prompt appears requesting conformation of this action.

See Figure 5.

Chapter 1 Server Administration Using HP TopTools

NOTE The Power button is the only button required to do basic Hot

Plug Replacement operations.

4. Confirm your selection by clicking on Yes.

As soon as confirmation is complete, the left P (Power) LED in the Utility

window turns off (gray) and the slot status changes from "Link Fault" (or

Normal)to Not Ready. The corresponding Power LED (green) for the PCI

slot on the rear panel will also turn off. This means power to this slot is

turned off. See Figure 6.

CAUTION If the rear panel Power LED for the desired PCI slot does not

turn off, do not attempt to remove the PCI Hot Plug board.

Return to Step 1 in this procedure to ensure you have selected

the correct slot to power down.

NOTE If you have a PCI board with a non-compliant drive in the

desired PCI slot, the PCI board will show up on the Utility’s
