10.1.5 Slot Control Interf a c e
Slot control capability is defined in the Redundant Host System Model, where the capabilities of
the system are extended to allow software control of a board’s hardware connection state.
The system software adds drivers and services for this greater degree of control. This allows
software to electrically isolate the board from the system until an operator is available to do so
physically.
Slot control enables:
Capability to perform reset on the board
Change the board’s power state to ON
Checks the presence and health of the board
