PICMG 2.1 Hot Swap support allows the XChange1004 to be installed in a live system without disrupting CompactPCI bus activity. The XChange1004's Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) monitors on-board voltages and temperature levels.
** A PrPMC must be installed on the XChange1004 if it is used in the system slot, since there are no intelligent devices on the XChange1004.
