Replacing Modules
To replace the device's modules, you must use the Web interface in combination with
physical removal and insertion of the modules. In other words, when you replace a module,
you first need to 'software-remove' it, then extract it physically from the chassis and insert a
new module, and then 'software-insert' it using the Web interface. The software removal
and insertion is performed in the Home page.

A module must be replaced with the same type of module and in the
same module slot number. For example, a module with two digital spans
in Slot 1 must be replaced with a module with two digital spans in Slot 1.
•
When only one module is available, removal of the module causes the
device to reset.
•
Before inserting a module into a previously empty slot, you must power
down the device.
