The single, hot-pluggable network interface unit (NIU) contains all of the
Acme Packet 6100 media and management interfaces. The NIU is located on
the Acme Packet 6100 rear panel. The Signaling, Media and Network
Management interfaces are located on the front panel of the NIU.

Without powering down the hot-swappable Acme Packet 6100 you can
exchange an NIU by removing and replacing it. Upon NIU removal, the Acme
Packet 6100 enters an Out-of-Service state. After you reinsert the NIU and
connect to the ACLI, you must reboot the system to return to service. This
causes a soft-reboot rather than a system power cycle.
