Servicing PCIe Cards

PCIe cards are hot-service components that can be replaced at any time if the card is not currently in use. For the location of the PCIe cards, see Rear Panel Components (Service).


Caution

Caution  -  To remove a PCIe card that is assigned to an I/O domain, first remove the device from the I/O domain. Then, add the device to the root domain before you physically remove the device from the system. These steps enable you to avoid a configuration that is unsupported by the Direct I/O or SR-IOV feature. For more information about making hardware changes to an I/O domain, refer to the Oracle VM for SPARC documentation.


These topics describe service procedures for the PCIe cards that are installed in the PCIe card carriers in the server.
