No really special trick is needed.

Before halting your server to install the card, make your new
/etc/hostname.qfe{3-7} files with their IP addresses, touch a file called
/reconfigure, then halt your server and install the new QFE card.

When you turn your server back on, it will boot up, detect the QFE card,
and bring up the new interfaces.
