Swapping Cards Around on AFF A700 - Remember the bye!

If you are swapping cards around in an AFF A700 or FAS9000, you need to halt the controller and do a bye from the loader prompt. The bye forces the system to repost and rescan all the hw installed. A power cycle from the service processor would do the same thing.
