PCI Hot Plug Application Support
In partnership with Microsoft and Novell, Compaq has developed software
support implementations for each company’s operating system. SCO support
will be available soon; check for availability on the Compaq website:
www.compaq.com
Compaq is promoting standardization with these operating system software
leaders to ensure the broad availability of PCI Hot Plug technology. However,
each operating system supplier is responsible for its own implementation of
the software, including the interface.
Novell intraNetWare Configuration
Manager Console
The Novell intraNetWare Configuration Manager Console (NCMCON) user
interface allows you to view status information on PCI slots and control
features, such as removing and replacing PCI Hot Plug adapters all from one
focal point.
Navigating the NCMCON Menus
The NCMCON interface constantly retrieves and displays the status of all of
the slots. If there are any errors, the appropriate error message is displayed. To
navigate through these menus, follow these guidelines.
■ From the Main menu, use the arrow keys to move up and down the list
of slots. The current line is highlighted.
■ Press Enter to go to the Slot Options menu. Use the arrow keys to
highlight the correct option and press Enter to select that option. By
pressing Enter when a non-hot-plug slot is highlighted, the Slot Detail
screen is displayed.
■ At any point if you want to return to the Main menu, press the ESC
button.
■ Press F1 for online help.
