These release notes describe the caveats and modifications for the Catalyst 2800. The product documentation for the Catalyst 2800 is as follows:

Inserting a 100BaseTX/8 Module
Although the Catalyst 2800 is designed to accommodate the hot insertion of any combination of field-installable Catalyst 2800 modules, the hot insertion of a 100BaseTX/8 module could cause the Catalyst 2800 to reset. For this reason, it is recommended that you install the module while power is off.
Disabling Single-Port Modules
Setting the status of the port on single-port Catalyst 2800 modules to disabled is not a reliable way to disable a module. Disabling single port modules is best accomplished by setting the module status to disabled.
To disable a module from the management console:
1 Select [P] on the Main Menu, and enter the expansion slot letter (A or B).
2 Select [M] on the Port Configuration Menu, and enter D to disable the module.
To disable the port using an SNMP manager, set the object
esModuleAdminStatus to disabled in the Modules MIB.Cisco Connection Online
