PCI Hot Plug Operating System Support
Software support is an integral part of PCI Hot Plug. Compaq, in partnership
with Microsoft, Novell, 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 a card 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 slots in the system.
NOTE:
IBM OS/2, Sun Solaris, and Banyan Vines do not support PCI Hot Plug.
