Installing Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) Cards

rp54xx Servers have a total of 12 PCI I/O slots. Slots 1 and 2 are reserved for the LAN/SCSI and GSP Core I/O cards, leaving 10 PCI I/O slots available for twin use.

rp5400/rp5450 PCI Card Slots

For rp5400 and rp5450 models, 10 PCI I/O slots consist of turbo and non-turbo slots. Server PCI slots are shown below.

Slots 1 and 2 are reserved for the rp54xx LAN/SCSI and GSP (Guardian Service Processor) Core I/O cards, respectively. Slots 1 and 2 are non-turbo slots. Non-turbo slots share a single 250MB/s PCI bus and are incapable of hot-plug functionality. The server must be turned off prior to removing or installing the LAN/SCSI or GSP cards in these slots.
Slots 3 - 6 are non-turbo slots. These four Non-turbo slots share a single 250MB/s PCI bus, run at 33MHz and support 32 and 64-bit PCI cards. Non-turbo slots are incapable of hot-plug functionality. The server must be turned off prior to removing or installing PCI cards in these slots.
Slots 7 - 12 are turbo slots. Each turbo slot has a dedicated 250MB/s PCI bus, run at 66MHz and support 32 and 64-bit PCI cards. Turbo slots are hot-plug capable. Below each turbo slot is a plastic PCI card separator. The PCI card separator has two LEDs and a pull tab on the outer edge. The LED’s provide power and status for the slot. The pull tab allows the PCI card to be easily removed.

rp5400 Servers have access to slots 1, 2 and 8-12 while rp5450 Servers have access to all (1-12) slots.




	NOTE: Slot 3 will become enabled on rp5400 Servers with server firmware versions later than 40.48.

A slot 3 enabled label (A5576-84009) is available for rp5400 systems.

rp5470 PCI Card Slots

For rp5470 models, the 10 PCI I/O slots consist of twin turbo, turbo, and non-turbo slots. The following illustration shows the PCI card slot layout.

Slots 1 and 2 are reserved for the rp54xx LAN/SCSI and GSP (Guardian Service Processor) Core I/O cards, respectively. Slots 1 and 2 are non-turbo slots. Non-turbo slots share a single 250MB/s PCI bus and are incapable of hot-plug functionality. The server must be turned off prior to removing or installing the LAN/SCSI or GSP cards in these slots.
Slots 3 and 4 are non-turbo slots. These two Non-turbo slots share a single 250MB/s PCI bus, run at 33MHz and support 32 and 64-bit PCI cards. Non-turbo slots are incapable of hot-plug functionality. The server must be turned off prior to removing or installing PCI cards in these slots.
Slots 5 - 10 are turbo slots. Each turbo slot has a dedicated 250MB/s PCI bus, run at 66MHz and support 32 and 64-bit PCI cards. turbo slots are hot-plug capable. Below each turbo slot is a plastic PCI card separator. The PCI card separator has two LEDs and a pull tab on the outer edge. The LED’s provide power and status for the slot. The pull tab allows the PCI card to be easily removed.
Slots 11 and 12 are twin turbo slots. Each twin turbo slot has a dedicated 500MB/S PCI bus, runs at 66 MHz, and supports 32- and 64-bit PCI cards. Twin turbo slots are hot-plug capable. Below each twin turbo slot is a plastic PCI card separator. The PCI card separator has two LEDs and a pull tab on the outer edge. The LED’s provide power and status for the slot and the pull tab allows the PCI card to be easily removed.

rp5470 Servers have access to all (1-12) slots.

PCI I/O Card Installation Restrictions

Restrictions apply regarding the installation of PCI I/O cards which contain a PCI-to-PCI bridge:

HP-UX boot is currently not supported for cards which contain a PCI-to-PCI bridge.
HP-UX patches are required when more than one card containing a PCI-to-PCI bridge is installed in non-turbo slots.

PCI I/O Card Installation Order

The following table shows a standard factory PCI card installation that begins with slot 12. Use this table as a guideline for installing PCI I/O cards in the field.




	NOTE: A system shipped from the factory may have a different configuration than the same system built in the field. For example: The factory will install the graphics card in slot 12 and add other cards below. In the field, slot 12 may already be occupied by another PCI card. It is acceptable for the graphics card to be installed in any available turbo slot.

Installing a PCI Card

Follow these procedures to install a PCI card.

Power down and unplug the rp54xx Server.




	NOTE: DC voltages are present when the server is connected to AC power. Do not attempt to install or service: CPUs, memory, PSMs, the platform monitor or PCI I/O cards installed in non-turbo slots (1-6) while DC voltage is present. Failure to observe this warning may result in damage to the server.

Make the right side of the server accessible for service.

Using a torx 15 screwdriver, loosen the captive screws on the right side panel. This panel has a label which shows which PCI I/O slots are available and the corresponding paths. The PCI I/O slot paths for rp5400, rp5450, and rp5470 are shown below.

Slot	rp5400		rp5450		rp5430/rp5470
Slot	Slot Type	Path	Slot/Type	Path	Slot Type	Path

^[1]Slot is NOT AVAILABLE for rp5430. ^[2]Slot 3 becomes available with server firmware versions later than 40.48.

Remove the PCI slot cover from the slot that will receive the PCI card. To remove the PCI slot cover, slide the PCI slot cover away from the server.
Slide the PCI card connectors into the slot, snapping firmly in place. For full length (cards that extend to the left side card guides) PCI cards, use the UPPER card guide.
At the rear of the chassis, connect the I/O cable to the card just installed.
Replace the right side panel and tighten the captive screws.
For rack configurations, insert the rp54xx Server back into the rack.
For deskside enclosure configurations, replace the deskside enclosure cover.
Power the server on.
Use the server firmware in io command to verify the PCI cards are recognized by the server. If AUTOBOOT is ON, it will be necessary to interrupt the boot process to get to the server firmware Main Menu: Enter command or menu > prompt.
Boot HP-UX and run the ioscan utility to verify the system recognizes the new PCI card.

Online Addition/Replacement (OLA/R) of PCI I/O cards

Beginning with HP-UX 11i (11.11) rp54xx Servers support the on-line addition and replacement of PCI I/O cards. In order for this high availability feature to be fully implemented, the following server requirements must be met:

rp5400A/rp5450A firmware must be later than 40.26 (rp5400B/rp5450B/rp5470A firmware will support OLA/R upon its release).
HP-UX operating system must be 11i (11.11) or later.

There is a bit that the HP-UX operating system examines to determine if the server hardware and firmware is capable of OLA/R. This bit is controlled by server firmware. If the bit is ON, OLA/R is possible (when requirements have been met). The bit was mistakenly set to ON for all rp5400 and rp5450 revision A (rp5400A and rp5450A) servers. As a result, HP-UX may incorrectly identify these models as being OLA/R capable. In order to avoid this confusion, verify that the correct level of server firmware is installed.
