Drop-in replacement is a term used in computer science and other fields. It refers to the ability to replace one hardware (or software) component with another one without any other code or configuration changes being required and resulting in no negative impacts.

Sorry not similar to hot swapping actually , but new component exactly compatible or same size same shape same connector number with old one , so you do not need to modify anything just insert the new one as if original spare part.
