WARNING
These modules are designed so you can remove and insert
them under power. However, take special care when removing
or inserting modules in an active process. I/O attached to any
module being removed or inserted can change states due to its
input or output signal changing conditions.
If you insert or remove the module while backplane power is on,
an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in
hazardous location installations.
Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous
before proceeding.
