It is not necessary to pay a CE to stick in a card in an open slot.  It is just
like putting in a card on the pc and rebooting.  Used to be in the S/3x days, 
you
needed a CE since they had to install ribbon cables, power modules etc.  Thank
goodness, IBM has made the AS/400 just as friendly as a PC (or is it the other
way around?)
