• It is possible to replace a module with the power supplied
provided that the module is replaced with one with the
same model number and installed in the same base slot.
• Turn off signals before replacing the module for safety.
Note that replacing multiple modules at once may greatly
change line voltage levels. We highly recommend to replace them one by one.
