“Hot-Swappable” PCIe Card Installations
New PCI Express technology allows you to remove your 3
rd
Party PCIe
cards for maintenance or replacement – without shutting down the
system. The EB2 expansions system supports Hot Plugging/Hot
Swapping of cards as defined by the PCI express specifications.
By design, this feature allows the host PC to gracefully remove power to
a slot, so that a PCIe card can be removed and replaced. It then powers
on the new card in coordination with the PC’s operating system.
By default, the EB2 ships with this feature turned on.
IMPORTA
NT
There are cases in which you would wish to turn off this feature,
especially if the PCIe cards you plan on installing in the EB2
chassis require or adhere to a different timing budget than allowed
in the PCIe specifications.
In order to turn off Hot-plug/Hot-swap simply toggle the SW13 DIP
switch from its default right position to the left as shown below:
If y
ou have any doubts, please check with you card’s vendor that
no such constrains exist for this card.
