“Hot
-
Swappable” PCIe Card Installations
New PCI Express technology allows you to remove your 3
rd
Party PCIe cards for maintenance or replacement – without shutting down the
system. The EB7-X8G2-RAS expansions system supports Hot Plugging/Hot Swapping of cards as defined by the PCI express specifications.
By design, this feature allows the host PC to gracefully remove power to a slot, so that a PCIe card can be removed and replaced. It then powers
on the new card in coordination with the PC’s operating system. By default, the EB7-X8G2-RAS ships with this feature turned on.
IMPORTANT
For this feature to work, you need to install the OSS HotPlug software driver. See
instructions on how to download the latest software for your system.
