Abstract

A device hot-plug system includes a chassis. A connector is included in the chassis. A reset pin is included on the connector. A hot-plug device is configured, in response to being hot-plugged to the connector, to enter a device reset state. While in the device reset state, the hot-plug device monitors a reference clock and determines that the reference clock has been stable for a predetermined time period. In response to determining that the reference clock has been stable for a predetermined time period, the hot-plug device exits the device reset state and provides a de-assertion signal on the reset pin.
