The troubleshooting step to be performed is to check if the hot-plug PCI slot has been reactivated.
Key Takeaway: The PCI hot-plug specification defines the requirements for adapter cards, system platforms, and system software to enable the insertion and removal of PCI adapter cards without turning off the platform or rebooting the operating system. This specification is a supplement to the Conventional PCI Specification and is applicable to those cards, platforms, and operating systems that need higher availability.
