Board Connection

After physically inserting a board in the card cage, logically connect the board:

# cfgadm -c connect sysctrl#:slot#

sysctrl#:slot# is the logical attachment point identification (the system name for the board), which can be found in the cfgadm status display.

The states and conditions for the attachment point before a board is inserted are:

• Receptacle state--Empty

• Occupant state--Unconfigured

• Condition--Unknown

After a board is physically inserted, the states and conditions are:

• Receptacle state--Disconnected

• Occupant state--Unconfigured

• Condition--Unknown

After the attachment point is logically connected, the states and conditions are:

• Receptacle state--Connected

• Occupant state--Unconfigured

• Condition--OK

Now the system is aware of the board, but not the usable devices which reside on the board. Temperature is monitored and power and cooling affect the attachment point condition.
