PICMG 2.1 Hot Swap support allows XChange1001 to be installed into a live system without disrupting CompactPCI bus activity. In addition, system management bus support allows the card to be powered down and reset remotely through the PICMG 2.9 IPMI interface. The IPMI interface also allows for the monitoring of voltage and temperature levels on the cards attached to the two PrPMC slots.
