Hot-swap indicates that the connectors on the motherboard (backplane) are alive with signal and power during hot-swap. The switches populated on the hot-swap card should tolerate the impact from hot swap without clamp or distort the signal from motherboard. Pericom PI5CXX, PI3CXX, and PI3VTXX families are suitable for hot-swap. (Refer to the PCI standards “Compact PCI Hot-Swap Specification R1.” and “PCI Hot-Plug specification R1.” for details).
