ProLiant DL760 Generation 2 Server Maintenance and Service Guide

I/O Module Removal and Replacement Procedures
PCI Hot Plug is backward-compatible, although system components fit into one of two
categories: hot-plug aware or non-hot-plug aware. The following three components are
required in the server for complete PCI Hot Plug capability:
• PCI Hot Plug system hardware (available in this server)
• Operating system with PCI Hot Plug support (support levels vary)
• PCI Hot Plug device drivers (available from operating system vendors, the HP
SmartStart CD, HP website, and some individual hardware vendors)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hazardous energy or damage to
the equipment when working on energized servers:
• Remove all watches, rings, and any other loose-fitting jewelry.
• Avoid the use of conductive tools that could bridge live parts.
IMPORTANT: If any of the three required components are not hot-plug aware, the system is fully
functional but is not PCI Hot Plug-capable.
