Tech/Engineering - Computers (general) / Computer | | English term or phrase: Hot swap | Appears in a list of "technical specifications" for a PC Card:
Hot Swap (USB I/F)
Plug & Play (PC Card I/F)
I suspect that Hot Swap and Plug & Play remain untranslated and the I/F in the brackets means "Interface" (Schnittstelle). |

| | Hot Swap | Explanation:
Hot Swap is as frequent as Hot-Swap.
When I think, that the reader doesn't know what it is, I would add the information "Wechsel bei laufendem Betriebssystem". |

| Grading comment Thanks to both of you - although Chris was faster, Harry mentioned the "Wechsel bei laufendem Betriebssystem", which is what I use in addition to the term.
