Installing PCI hot plug expansion boards
The server supports PCI Hot Plug technology, which works together with the server operating system to

The server must have all the following to be PCI Hot Plug-capable:
• PCI Hot Plug system hardware (available in this server)
• PCI Hot Plug device drivers installed from the SmartStart CD
• Operating system with PCI Hot Plug support
For more information, refer to the PCI Hot Plug Administration Guide on the Documentation CD.
To install a hot-plug expansion board:

2. Remove the access panel (" Removing the access panel " on page 29 ).
