Description: The term ‘hot-swappable’ refers to the ability of certain devices to be replaced or added to a system without the need to power it down. This feature is especially valuable in environments where continuous system availability is critical, such as servers and embedded systems. While some systems and components officially support hot-swapping, there are others where users can connect or disconnect peripherals and modules while the system is running, as long as proper precautions are taken. This functionality allows users to perform upgrades, maintenance, and modifications without downtime, enhancing efficiency and productivity. Additionally, hot-swapping can facilitate experimentation and learning, enabling technology enthusiasts to test different configurations and components without the risk of data loss or interrupting critical processes.
