PCI-X Technology
PCI-X Hot Plug Requirements
Your server must have all of the following to be PCI-X Hot Plug-capable:
•
PCI-X Hot Plug system hardware (available in this server)
•
PCI-X Hot Plug device drivers (installed from the SmartStart CD)
•
An operating system that supports PCI-X Hot Plug technology
For information about specific operating systems with PCI-X Hot Plug support, refer
to the operating system support matrix available from the website:
ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/products/servers/os-support-matrix-310.pdf
CAUTION: Before adding or removing any PCI Hot Plug devices, be sure to remove
power to the slot using the PCI Hot Plug application or the PCI Hot Plug button.
Failure to do so could result in critical errors.
IMPORTANT: If any of the three required components are not available, the system is fully
functional, though not PCI Hot Plug-capable.
