ABSTRACT:
Embodiments of the present invention include a method for providing protected swapping of a peripheral component in a computer system. The method comprises determining a position of a first mechanical retention latch wherein the first mechanical retention latch has an open position and a closed position and is configured to communicatively couple to a computer expansion card slot. Provided the first mechanical retention latch is in the open position, the method further includes filtering power management events and preventing the computer system from powering up. Provided the first mechanical retention latch is in the closed position, allowing the computer system to accept power management events.
