Important Terms and Concepts
IMPORTANT In many cases, other interface cards and slots within the system are
dependent upon the target card. For example:
• If the target card slot is in a power domain and you temporarily stop
power to the target card slot, you will also stop power to any other
card slots (affected card slots) in that power domain.
• If the target card is a multiple-function card (MFC), suspending or
deleting drivers for the target card slot also suspends individual
drivers for the multiple hardware paths on that card).
During a card replacement operation, SMH performs a Critical Resource
Analysis, which checks the target card for critical resources that would
be lost when the card is shut down.
