Adding an Adapter

  1. If the slot already contains an adapter, remove the adapter from the slot. See Removing an Adapter.

  2. Insert the new adapter in the slot and close the lever.

    The new adapter is detected automatically, and you are prompted to apply power to the slot.

  3. Respond to the prompt to apply power.

    If you respond Yes: The slot's green LED is illuminated, and you are reminded to attach cables. The system then attempts to autodetect and load drivers for the adapter. Follow any prompts that appear on the screen.

    If you respond No: The console status does not change. Go to Step 4 when you are ready to apply power to the slot.

  4. When you are ready to apply power to the slot, select the slot and adapter from the Main menu.

  5. From the Slot Options menu, select Add Adapter or Power On Slot (whichever is displayed).

    The Novell Configuration Manager attempts to autodetect and load drivers for the adapter. Follow any prompts that appear on the screen.
