HP PCI Hot Plug Utility for Windows NT
The HP PCI Hot Plug Utility for Windows NT (located on the SmartStart CD)
enables you to view the status of the PCI Hot Plug slots and to initiate actions such as
replacing a failed expansion board.
The Windows NT PCI Hot Plug Utility screen is divided into three sections:
• Top
This area enables you to connect to a remote computer by typing the server name
in the combo box, selecting a server from the combo box, or using the Browse
button to bring up a selection dialog. The Refresh button refreshes the PCI Hot
Plug information for the current server.
• Middle
The list control displays information about the PCI Hot Plug slots on the current
server: LEDs, location, expansion board name (if any), and the status of the slot
and/or expansion board. The columns can be sorted and resized, and some can be
hidden. These commands are accessible by right-clicking the mouse on a column
header.
