Abstract
A technique for selecting events associated with a hot-plug operation. More specifically, a programmable configuration register may be used to provide a mechanism for periodically scheduling requests associated with a hot-plug operation, such as initialization, rebuild, and verify requests. An arbiter is provided to facilitate an ordered access to a memory system. A user can select a periodic interval such that hot-plug requests are periodically executed during the execution of normal requests through the arbiter. The user-selectable interval may be dependent on the specific application of the system and the importance of operating in a redundant mode.
