All E-series routers support hot-swapping of modules. Hot-swapping
allows you to add or remove a module without powering down the
system.
Each E-series chassis has an ESD (electrostatic discharge) grounding jack.
See
Table 5-1
for locations. To prevent damage from electrostatic
discharge, connect an antistatic wrist strap to the jack when handling
components.
