2.5 CompactPCI Hot Swap
CompactPCI is the specification made by applying the existing specification of PCI Local Bus for
general PC to the industrial PC. The algorithms such as bus protocol are same as those of the
existing PCI, except for the electrical features and the mechanical features. Hot Swap is one of
the functions that reinforce the industrial aspect of CompactPCI. The function enables you to
delete/insert the CompactPCI board while power is connected to the system.
CompactPCI hot swap capability supports the software aspect of the Hot Swap Function. The
control register is in the Configuration Space Header. In SB4002A, the control register is in
50h~53h.
SB4002A follows the CompactPCI Hot Swap Specification 1.0. The following table shows the
registers contained in the Configuration Space Header.
