Installing Hardware Options, Hot-Pluggable
Microsoft Windows 2000
Supported PCI Hot Plug Functionality
PCI Hot Plug support within Microsoft Windows 2000 provides full PCI Hot Plug
capability including:
• Hot-add
• Hot-replace
• Hot-removal
• Hot-upgrade
PCI Hot Plug operations can be initiated through the use of the PCI/PCI-X slot power
buttons or the Windows 2000 Eject/Remove Hardware applet that is accessed
through the Windows Status box.
CAUTION: Before removing any PCI/PCI-X expansion board, be sure to turn off
power to the PCI/PCI-X slot by using either the PCI/PCI-X 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.
Software Components
PCI Hot Plug support for Windows 2000 is provided through the PCI Hot Plug Filter
driver. This component is included in the ProLiant Support Pack for Windows 2000.
Installing PCI Hot Plug Support
The ProLiant Support Pack for Microsoft Windows 2000, version 5.00A or later,
contains all of the software components required to support PCI Hot Plug. Included
on the Support Pack are hot-plug-aware device drivers, such as HP NC 7770
controllers and the Smart Array 5300 controller. The Support Pack also provides the
PCI Hot Plug Filter driver and the System Management drivers.
