PCI Hot Plug Utility for Windows NT
The PCI Hot Plug Utility for Windows NT (located on the SmartStart CD) enables
you to view the status of the PCI Hot Plug slots and to initiate actions such as
replacing a failed expansion board.
The Windows NT PCI Hot Plug Utility screen is divided into three sections:
•
Top
This area enables you to connect to a remote computer by typing the server name
in the combo box, selecting a server from the combo box, or using the Browse
button to bring up a selection dialog. The Refresh button refreshes the PCI Hot
Plug information for the current server.
•
Middle
The list control displays information about the PCI Hot Plug slots on the current
server: LEDs, location, expansion board name (if any), and the status of the slot
and/or expansion board. The columns can be sorted and resized, and some can be
hidden. These commands are accessible by right-clicking the mouse on a column
header.
•
Bottom
The filter drop-down list box can be used to define the slots shown: the Power
button toggles the power to the currently selected slot, the Help button brings up
the standard Help Finder dialog, and the Exit button exits the utility.
Novell NetWare Configuration Manager Console
The Novell NetWare Configuration Manager Console (NCMCON) user interface
enables you to view status information on PCI slots and control features, such as
removing and adding PCI Hot Plug expansion boards all from one focal point.
