# PCI Hot Plug Support

Intel® PRO/1000 Server Adapters are enabled for use in selected servers equipped with Hot Plug support.

If you replace an adapter in a Hot Plug slot, do not 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.

The system will require a reboot if you

- Change the primary adapter designator.

- Add a new adapter to an existing team and make the new adapter the primary adapter.

- Remove the primary adapter from the system and replace it with a different type of adapter.

| NOTE: To replace an existing FEC-teamed adapter in a Hot Plug slot, first unplug the adapter cable. When the adapter is replaced, reconnect the cable.
