PCI Hot Plug

775013 D-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 vendor's PCI Hot

Plug documentation.

m 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 card 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 card 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.
