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 - 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.
