Maintaining hot-plug PCI cards

Some of the PCI cards used with the computer can be added, removed, or replaced without shutting down the computer. This procedure is called "hot-plugging" and uses a feature called "Dynamic Reconfiguration" that enables you to reconfigure system hardware while the system is running. The procedures in this section describe how to add and remove PCI cards that support hot-plug operation.

The following PCI cards support hot-plug operation:

●SunSwift

●FastEthernet

●Dual FastEthernet and Dual SCSI (newer versions)

Tip:

The hot-plug procedures are summarized on the inside panel of the left door.
