Abstract
A connecting and detecting facility includes a connecting device coupled between a CPU and an interface card, and having a rebooting device for rebooting the CPU when the interface card is coupled to and disconnected from the CPU. The rebooting device includes a detecting device coupled between the CPU and the interface card to detect either a coupling or a disconnecting of the interface card from the CPU. A processing device is coupled between the detecting device and the CPU, and includes a transistor coupled to an inverter and to reboot the CPU via the inverter.
