Placement information

For details about slot priorities and placement rules, see the PCI adapter placement topic collection for your system.

Logical partitioning

When used in a logical partition (LPAR) environment, this double-wide adapter must have both slots of the adapter assigned to the same logical partition. When implementing dynamic LPAR (DLPAR), both slots of the adapter must be managed together.

Installing the adapter in a cassette

To install this adapter in a cassette, first remove the adapter handle (B), and the two plastic covers from the SCSI jumper cable (A), as shown in the following figure.

Operating system or partition requirements

If you are installing a new feature, ensure that you have the software that is required to support the new feature and that you determine whether there are any prerequisites for this feature and attaching devices. To check for the prerequisites, see IBM Prerequisite website .

The adapter is supported on the following versions of the operating systems:

• IBM i
  • IBM i 7.1, or later
  • IBM i 6.1, or later

Power® LED

For a double-wide adapter, there is only one power LED visible for both slots.

Concurrent maintenance procedure

Concurrent maintenance of this adapter is not supported through the Hardware Management Console (HMC). Concurrent maintenance must be initiated from the Hardware Service Manager (HSM) of the system or owning partition. The HSM automatically turns off the power of both PCI slots when either slot is selected.

Follow this procedure:

1. Start an IBM i operating system session for the system or logical partition that contains the adapter, and sign on to the system or logical partition.
2. Type strsst on the command line of the Main Menu and then press Enter.
3. Type your service tools user ID and service tools password on the System Service Tools (SST) Sign On display and press Enter.
4. Select Start a service tool from the System Service Tools (SST) display and press Enter.
5. Select Hardware service manager from the Start a Service Tools display and press Enter.
6. Select Logical hardware resources (system, frames, cards) from the Hardware Service Manager display and press Enter.
7. Select System bus resources and press Enter. The display changes to the Logical Hardware Resources on System Bus display.
8. Page down and locate Combined Function IOP that controls the IOA to be serviced.
9. Enter 9 in the Opt field for the Combined Function IOP to be serviced.
10. Locate the Storage IOA resource for the adapter to be serviced and enter 8 in the Opt field for that resource.
11. Enter 3 for Concurrent maintenance in the Opt field for the Storage IOA resource to be serviced. The display changes to the Hardware Resource Concurrent Maintenance display.
12. Press F9 to turn off the power to the domain.
13. Press Enter to confirm start turning off the power. The display changes to the Hardware Resource Concurrent Maintenance Status display, which shows the status of the turned off power.

    When the power is turned off completely, the display returns to the Hardware Resource Concurrent Maintenance display. The display shows that the Power Status is turned off for Storage IOA. Leave this display on the HSM while you remove and replace the adapter.

14. Check the slot power LED state for the slot in which the adapter resides to verify that power of the adapter is turned off.

    For a double-wide adapter, there is only one power LED visible for both slots.

15. Remove and replace the adapter. Removal and replacement procedures are covered in the customer-installable features publication.
16. After the replacement is complete, return to the Hardware Resource Concurrent Maintenance display on the HSM.
17. If you were previously instructed to use operator panel function 69 to power on the adapter, do so now from either the system operator panel or from the HMC operator panel functions for the owning partition. Then go to step 12, otherwise continue with next step.
18. Enter F10 to turn on the power to the adapter.
19. Press Enter to begin turning on the power.
20. If the Work with Controlling Resource display is shown, enter 7 in the Opt field for the Combined function IOP to assign the IOA to.

    The Hardware Resource Concurrent Maintenance Status display shows that the status of the power turned on.

21. When the power is turned on completely, the display returns to the Hardware Resource Concurrent Maintenance display. The display shows that the Power Status is turned on for the Storage IOA.
22. Check the LED status to verify that the adapter power is turned on.

    For a double-wide adapter, there is only one power LED visible for both slots.

23. Return to the procedure that sent you here.
