Chapter 11
Hot-Plug and Hot-Swap
Overview
As illustrated in Figures 11.1 through 11.3, a PCI Express switch may be used in one of three hot-plug
configurations. Figure 11.1 illustrates the use of the PES32NT24xG2 switch in an application in which two
downstream switch ports are connected to slots into which add-in cards may be hot-plugged.
Figure 11.2 illustrates the use of the switch in an add-in card application. Here the downstream switch
ports are hardwired to devices on the add-in card and the upstream port serves as the add-in card’s PCI
Express interface. In this application the upstream port may be hot-plugged into a slot on the main system.
Finally, Figure 11.3 illustrates the use of the switch in a carrier card application. In this application, the
downstream switch ports are connected to slots which may be hot-plugged and the entire assembly may be
hot-plugged into a slot on the main system. Since this application requires nothing more than the function-
ality illustrated in both Figures 11.1 and 11.2, it will not be discussed further.
