ABSTRACT:
The invention is to provide a mode setting method and a system including a PCI bus in the hot plug of a PCI device which is capable of supporting a platform unique function for a PCI device that is hot-added. Therefore, in a system including a PCI bus according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention, a south bridge directly notifies firmware that a PCI device is hot-added and thus, it is possible to support the platform unique function for the hot-added PCI device without modifying an OS or an open hot plug driver.
