1. A hot-swappable structure of a connector, the connector being connectable with a high-speed transmission interface, the connector being provided with Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) in connection with the connector and generating an electrical signal upon connecting with a swapping device, the hot-swappable structure comprising:
a chip database, which is arranged at one side of the high-speed transmission interface and is operable to store positive/negative trigger data, delay interval length data, and a universal delay time data corresponding to a specification of the swapping device;
a swapping detection module, which is arranged at one side of the high-speed transmission interface and is operable to detect a swapping operation of the swapping device with respect to the PCIe to generate a plugging signal;
a recognition module, which is in electrical connection with the swapping detection module and the chip database and is operable to read the electrical signal upon receiving the plugging signal;
a comparison module, which is arranged in the recognition module and is operable to compare the electrical signal with the positive/negative trigger data;
a privilege control module, which is arranged in the connector and is in electrical connection with the comparison module and the chip database, and is operable to generate a control signal that includes the plugging signal and the delay interval length data when a comparison result of the comparison module is “matched”;
a universal control section, which is arranged in the privilege control module and is operable to generate a universal signal that includes the plugging signal and the universal delay time data when the comparison result of the comparison module is “not matched”;
a chip resetting module, which is arranged at one side of the privilege control module and is in connection with a control system, and is operable to issue a resetting request that includes the control signal or the universal signal to the control system upon receiving the control signal or the universal signal; and
a plurality of hot-swapping control modules, which are arranged at one side of the high-speed transmission interface and are in connection with the chip resetting module, wherein the control system selects, according to the resetting request, one of hot-swapping control modules to be conducting with the high-speed transmission interface.
