Most modern hot-swap methods use a specialized connector with staggered pins, so that certain pins are certain to be connected before others. Most staggered-pin designs have … See more

Circuitry attached to signal pins in a hot-swap component should include some protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD). This usually … See more

Hot swapping can also refer to the ability to alter the running code of a program without needing to interrupt its execution. Interactive programming is a programming paradigm that makes extensive use of hot swapping, so the programming activity becomes part of … See more

Machines that support hot swapping need to be able to modify their operation for the changed configuration, either automatically on … See more

The DC power supplies to a hot-swap component are usually pre-charged by dedicated long pins that make contact before the main power pins. These pre-charge pins are protected by a circuit that limits the inrush current to an acceptable value that cannot … See more
