HP ML530 Implementing Microsoft Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 2 on HP - Page 21

PCI Hot Plug support PCI Hot Plug is the ability to physically insert, remove, or replace PCI adapters while a ProLiant server is powered on. PCI Hot Plug operations may be performed under Windows Server 2003 SP2 on supported ProLiant servers with the PCI Hot Plug Filter Driver installed. ProLiant storage options and network interface controllers are supported for PCI Hot Plug operations. Table 9 identifies ProLiant servers that are capable of PCI Hot Plug. Table 9. ProLiant servers with PCI Hot Plug support HP ProLiant DL servers ProLiant DL380 G2 ProLiant DL380 G3 ProLiant DL580 ProLiant DL580 G2 ProLiant DL740 ProLiant DL760 ProLiant DL760 G2 HP ProLiant ML servers ProLiant ML370 G2 ProLiant ML530 G2 ProLiant ML570 ProLiant ML570 G2 ProLiant ML750 Compaq ProLiant servers ProLiant 6400R ProLiant 6500 Xeon ProLiant 7000 Xeon ProLiant 8000 ProLiant 8500 NOTE: Future service pack papers will not include PCI Hot Plug support information, as it applies to older ProLiant server models. Hot Plug Memory support Higher availability on HP and Microsoft solutions has been achieved through the deployment of Hot Plug RAID Memory, the most robust memory-protection solution in the HP Advanced Memory Protection scheme. With the introduction of industry-leading ProLiant 8-way platforms, the ProLiant DL760 G2 and ProLiant DL740, HP became the first and only vendor to offer Hot Plug RAID Memory in an industry-standard platform. These two platforms based on the HP F8 chipset enable customers to deploy mainframe levels of availability in their industry-standard IT environments, without the high cost of mainframe technology. With these HP/Microsoft solutions, customers can dynamically hot-add memory capacity without powering down the server. These solutions deliver true resource scalability and maximum uptime for enterprise customers. The Hot Add Memory feature in the specified 4-way and 8-way ProLiant servers is only supported in Windows Server 2003. The following Hot Plug RAID Memory Driver and Utility are included in Version 7.60A and earlier of the ProLiant Support Pack for Microsoft Windows Server 2003: • HP ProLiant Hot-Plug Memory Configuration Utility for Windows Server 2003 • HP ProLiant Hot Plug Memory Driver for Windows Server 2003 NOTE: Future service pack papers will not include Hot Plug Memory support information, as it applies to older ProLiant server models. 21
