The system board is activated when the following three conditions are met:

• The board is in place during system startup.

To swap out an activated board if you are swapping a type three (PCI) board:

1. Halt the system.

2. Power off the system.

3. Remove and replace the board.

4. Reboot the system to activate the board.

2. Remove and replace the board.

3. To activate the board and reconfigure the board to the system, use DR commands.
