PCI Hot Plug
Manual No. 775064 C-3
Windows NT
Windows NT requires additional software from the vendor who makes the
system. Since this software is not a part of NT, the software needs to be
installed after the operating system is loaded. Refer to your system or server
vendor's PCI Hot Plug documentation.

Caution
GAM drivers can stop PCI Hot Plug Boards from
unloading. If this problem occurs, stop GAM and
unload the GAM drivers before attempting to unload
the PCI Hot Plug controller.
Known Windows NT Issues
• Mylex Software Kit 2.1 or greater is required to support your system
vendor’s PCI Hot Plug utility.
• The macdisk.sys driver should not be loaded with a Mylex PCI Hot
Plug board; if macdisk.sys is loaded, the system will hang upon
shutdown.
• When you install a Mylex controller as a boot device and a Mylex
Driver has been installed prior to the installation of the Windows NT
OS, NT will not recognize the Mylex controller as a PCI Hot Plug
device. To fix this, the driver must be reinstalled, and the system
rebooted.
This problem occurs because PCI Hot Plug information does not get
loaded into the Windows NT registry for the Mylex controller upon
installation of Windows NT.
Windows 2000
Windows 2000 supports the PCI Hot Plug capability. No additional software
is required.
Please refer to the Windows 2000 documentation for instructions on how to
use the PCI Hot Plug feature.
