The PI3CXX switch needs to be populated on the hot-swap card between the connector and the ASIC on the card to tolerate the impact from hot-swap. The ground pins of the card and the back plane must be connected before any other signal or power pins. Otherwise the signal at the input of the switch will go wild due to lack of ground reference and will damage the switch.
