2. Ensure that both extraction levers are in the insert position (arrow

pointing outward), and that the quarter-turn access slots are unlocked
(arrow indicates unlocked position) as you slide the board toward the
centerplane receptacles.
See Figure 3-4 and Figure 3-5. The board will not seat fully unless the levers
are in this starting position and both quarter-turn access slots are unlocked.

Caution – DO NOT FORCE any board into a slot; it can cause damage to the
board and system. The board should insert and seat smoothly. If it binds,
remove the board and inspect the card cage slot for any obvious obstructions.
Also inspect both the board and the centerplane for bent pins or other damage.

3. Push the board into the card cage, then simultaneously press both

extraction levers to seat the board on the centerplane.
Pushing both levers simultaneously avoids twisting the board and bending
the connector pins, and mates the board centerplane connector to the
matching receptacle on the centerplane. Do not press on board front panel to
seat it—doing so will damage the connector pins.

4. Mechanically lock the board to the system chassis by inserting a Phillips

#1 screwdriver into each quarter-turn access slot and then turning to the
locked position.
See Figure 3-4.

5. Once the board has been installed, a message similar to the following will

be displayed on the monitor (if the system is powered on):

Example depicts screen output when a new CPU/Memory board has been
hot-plugged into slot 6 of an operating Enterprise system:

This screen output indicates that the board has been detected by the system
and is in the low power mode. Additionally, any subsequent

prtdiag(1M)

output would include information for board slot 6. Again, note that the
system will not use the new board until the system is rebooted.

6. Reboot the system now or schedule a later time to reboot when system

disruption will be minimized.

NOTICE: CPU Board Hotplugged into Slot 6
