English term

Hot swap

English to German Tech/Engineering Computers (general) Computer
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

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".

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. 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."

Both USB and PC card are interfaces.

Plug and play is a Microsoft term (I will probably be arrested for typing it withot the symbol)

Hot swap means being able to exchange a part without switching off - see ref. (""Hot-Swap" Unterstützung")
