Abstract
A hot swap management device includes a bus buffer, a hot swap switch, and a controller. The bus buffer is selectively coupled to a host system management bus of a server. The hot swap switch is coupled to the bus buffer and a hardware expansion device. The controller is coupled to the bus buffer and the hot swap switch. When the hot swap management device is coupled to a board system management bus of the server, the controller assigns a hardware address to the bus buffer. A computational unit of the server controls the hardware expansion device through the host system management bus according to the hardware address.
