Supported PCI Functionality
Compaq PCI Hot Plug support under Microsoft Windows 2000 provides full
PCI Hot Plug capability including:
Hot Add


Hot Replacement


Hot Removal


Hot Upgrade


PCI Hot Plug operations can be initiated through the use of the PCI slot power
buttons or the Windows 2000 Eject/Remove Hardware applet that is accessed
through the Windows Status box.
CAUTION: Before removing any PCI module, be sure to turn off power to the PCI
slot by using either the PCI power button or the Windows 2000 Eject/Remove
Hardware applet. Failure to do so will result in a "surprise style" removal and
may result in system failure.
