1.Hot-plug operation for a PCI card requires that the card have detach-safe drivers. If the card does not have detach-safe drivers, the system must be shut down to add, remove, or replace the card.

2.The computer supports a maximum of four ethernet cards. The optional ethernet cards can be the Quad GigaSwift or single Gigabit ethernet cards. If your first three ethernet cards are all Quad GigaSwift cards (slots 6, 5, and 8), you cannot add a fourth card of any type in slot 7.

3.Solaris 9 patches 113068-04 and 110824-05 must be installed to support hot-plug operation.

4.The SCSI card supports hot-plug operation, but Avaya recommends that you replace those cards while the system is powered down.
