Abstract: A computer system is provided which allows adapters 2 to be inserted or removed while keeping the system operational, and which can automatically reconfigure the system according to insertion or removal of the adapters 2. When an adapter 2 is inserted, an adapter detection mechanism 11 informs a resource manager 19 of the insertion of the adapter 2 with an interrupt or the like. The resource manager 19 electrically and mechanically connects the adapter 2 immediately after its insertion, and reads the attribute information of the adapter 2 from a memory on the adapter 2 to perform the necessary setup, inclusion of the device driver necessary for the system, and assignment of memory and the like, thus enabling the adapter 2. When a user wants to remove an adapter, he or she issues an adapter removal request from an adapter removal button 12, or a keyboard, etc to the resource manager 19. This request is transmitted to the resource manager 19, which checks the running state of the adapter 2, and, if it can be removed, electrically and then mechanically disconnects it so that it can be removed. The user of the computer system removes the adapter 2 after it is disconnected.
