PCI Hot Plug provides the ability to remove, replace, upgrade, and add PCI
expansion boards without powering down the server. Any PCI board can be
placed in a PCI Hot Plug slot. PCI Hot Plug device drivers and OS support,
however, are required to enable PCI Hot Plug.
The PCI Hot Plug button allows for PCI Hot Plug access directly at each PCI
slot. A PCI Hot Plug button is located above each PCI slot, providing PCI Hot
Plug control directly at the server without the use of the PCI Hot Plug utility
software.

Library CD included in the Reference Information pack.
