| Hot Plug |
Hot-pluggable components are components that you can
install or remove while the system is running, without
affecting the rest of the system's capabilities. However,
in many cases, you must prepare the operating system prior
to the hot-plug event by performing certain system
administration tasks. |
| Hot Swap |
Hotpluggable components that require no such preparation
are called hot-swappable components. These components can
be removed or inserted at any time without preparing the
operating system in advance. While all hot-swappable
components are hot-pluggable, not every hot-pluggable
component is hot-swappable. |
