Decommission and Disposal

APAX-5000 I/O modules support hot-swap functionality. It means the I/O module can
be removed from the backplane or inserted on the backplane when the complete sys-
tem is power-on. This can significantly help to make it more convenient for system
maintenance. Changing one module won't affect operation of other modules. The
hot-swap functionality is implemented by the module locks. Refer to figure below for
how to dismantle APAX-5000 I/O modules:
1. Pull up the two module locks on side of APAX-5000 I/O modules first. This
action disconnects the power between the I/O module and backplane.
Note! If you only want to remove one module , the procedure is similar. (Pull
up the module locks and then remove the module without shutting down
the power)
