6 PCI Hot Plug Support
PCI Hot Plug involves the insertion and removal of PCI adapters from a system
without interrupting the normal operation or powering down the whole system.
PCI Hot Plug functions by disabling power to PCI slots where PCI Hot Plug
capable adapters will be inserted or removed. To provide PCI Hot Plug
functionality, the system hardware and software, the installed operating system,
and the device driver for the PCI adapter must all support the PCI Hot Plug
capability.
The D8602B device driver for Windows NT 4.0 and Netware 5.x supports the
PCI hot swap/replacement capability on system platforms that support PCI Hot
Plug. Please check the readme file on the Fibre Channel installation diskette for
details on the PCI Hot Plug.
CAUTION Do not insert or remove HP Fibre Channel Adapters into
or out of PCI slots with power enabled.
Please consult your system documentation on PCI Hot
Plug support. If PCI Hot Plug support is provided by your
system hardware and software then follow the procedures
for insertion and removal of Hot Plug capable PCI
Adapters as defined by your system documentation.
