Installing PCI Hot Plug Support
ProLiant Support Pack for Microsoft Windows 2000, version 5.00A or later, contains
all of the software components required to support PCI Hot Plug. Included on the
Support Pack are hot-plug-aware device drivers, such as NC 3131 controllers and the
Smart Array 3200 controller. The Support Pack also provides the PCI Hot Plug Filter
driver and the System Management drivers.
Microsoft Windows Server 2003
Supported PCI Hot Plug Functionality
PCI Hot Plug support within Microsoft Windows Server 2003 provides full PCI Hot
Plug capability including:
• Hot-add
• Hot-replace
• Hot-removal
• Hot-upgrade
PCI Hot Plug operations can be initiated through the use of the PCI/PCI-X slot power
buttons or the Windows Server 2003 Eject/Remove Hardware applet that is
accessed through the Windows Status dialog box.
CAUTION: Before removing any PCI/PCI-X expansion board, be sure to turn off
power to the PCI/PCI-X slot by using either the PCI/PCI-X power button or the
Windows Server 2003 Eject/Unplug Hardware applet. Failure to do so will result in
a “surprise-style” removal and may result in system failure.
