# PCI Hot Plug Support

Intel network adapters can be used in servers that support PCI hot plug. See your server's documentation for information on setting up PCI devices in the hot plug environment.

If you replace an adapter in a PCI hot plug slot, don't place the removed adapter back into the same network until the server has rebooted (unless you return it to the same slot and same team as before). This prevents a conflict in having two of the same Ethernet addresses on the same network.

| NOTE: PCI Hot Plug will only work when you hot-plug using an identical Intel network adapter.

## Windows XP

At this time, only Microsoft Windows XP 64-Bit Edition is supporting PCI Hot Plug for the Intel® Itanium™-based architecture.

Check with your hardware and/or Hot Plug support documentation for details.
