Dont know about the s390 - but on some hardware you get notification when someone presses the hotswap request button. You would then be requiried to move all the data on the memory elsewhere. Then you tell the hardware it is ok to hotswap. On many systems this will make the little LED light up to say the hotswap is safe :)
