The Windows NT PCI Hot Plug utility screen is divided into three sections:
■ Top
This area allows 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, board name (if any), and the status of the
slot and/or 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.
■ Bottom
The filter drop-down list box can be used to define the slots shown: The
power button toggles the power to the currently selected slot, the Help
button brings up the standard Help Finder dialog, and the Exit button
exits the utility.
PCI Hot Plug Actions
The Compaq PCI Hot Plug Utility and the Compaq Remote Control service, in
conjunction with Windows NT, enable the following actions:
■ Connecting to a remote server
■ Hot replacing expansion boards
NOTE: Microsoft Windows 2000 Server supports hot addition of expansion boards;
however, Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 does not support hot addition of expansion boards.
At startup, the utility attempts to connect to the local server. The utility can
communicate with any remote server that is running the Compaq Remote
Control service.
