PCI Hot Plug Support
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 installed operating system, the motherboard, and the device
driver for the PCI adapter must all support the PCI Hot Plug
capability.
The Adaptec Fibre Card 9210LP device drivers support the PCI hot
swap/replacement capability on system platforms that support PCI
Hot Plug. Check your system documentation to determine if PCI
Hot Plug is supported.
Caution: Do not insert or remove the Adaptec Fibre Card
9210LP from PCI slots when power is enabled to the PCI
slot. 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.
Note: See the Readme file for individual drivers on PCI Hot
Plug capabilities.
