PCI Hot Plug Operating System Support

Software support is an integral part of PCI Hot Plug. HP, in partnership with
Microsoft, Caldera, and SCO has developed PCI Hot Plug software support for each
operating system.

You can use either the PCI Hot Plug button on the server or your operating system
PCI Hot Plug software to control the PCI Hot Plug slots. You can use the software to
indicate that you want to replace an expansion board in the hot-plug slot or configure
a board that you have already added to the system. The PCI Hot Plug software also
allows you to enable or disable specific system slots. Supported operating systems
include:

• Microsoft Windows 2000
• Microsoft Windows Server 2003
• Caldera Open Unix 8
• SCO UnixWare 7.x
• Linux
