Most Intel® Gigabit Server Adapters are enabled for use in selected servers equipped with Hot Plug support. Exceptions: Intel Gigabit Quad Port Server adapters do not support Hot Plug operations.
If you replace an adapter in a Hot Plug slot, do not place the removed adapter back into the same network until the server has rebooted (unless you return it to the same slot and same team as before). This prevents a conflict in having two of the same Ethernet addresses on the same network.
The system will require a reboot if you:
Change the primary adapter designator.
Add a new adapter to an existing team and make the new adapter the primary adapter.
Remove the primary adapter from the system and replace it with a different type of adapter.
