PCI Hot Plug Button
The PCI Hot Plug button provides PCI Hot Plug hardware control without requiring
you to first run the PCI Hot Plug Utility software. Press the port-colored
PCI Hot Plug button once to power down or power up a slot. You can cancel an
action by pressing the button again within five seconds. When you press the button,
the system automatically stops or starts expansion board drivers. See Figure 4-3 and
Table 4-4 to locate the PCI Hot Plug button.
