PCI Hot Plug Overview

The PCI Hot Plug (PCI HP) specification defines the requirements for adapter cards,
system platforms, and system software to enable the insertion and removal of PCI adapter
cards without turning off the platform or rebooting the operating system. The process may
include stopping a portion of the software or controlling the power cycle of a portion of
the hardware such as, in this case, a PCI slot. This industry standard offers customers
higher system availability by helping to eliminate both planned and unplanned
downtimes.
