• Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition
Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition supports only OL-A and OL-D hot-plug PCI-X operations.
In OL-D, Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition will delete the device object after the card’s successful removal from
the slot. You do not have to re-install drivers for the deleted device on subsequent insertions or reboots.
To perform a card replacement hot-plug PCI-X operation in Windows Server 2003, you must first perform an OL-D
operation followed by an OL-A operation.
• Linux Red Hat Advanced Server 2.1

support hot-plug PCI-X technology.
