In the [[AlphaCom XE20]] and [[AlphaCom XE26|XE26]] exchanges, all boards may be inserted or removed without switching off the power by inserting the powered RJ45 plug from the [[APC]] board in the '''hot-plug''' receptor found at the top of all cards prior to removal or insertion.
  
:*Remove the hot-plug when the board is in place.

In an [[AlphaCom XE7]] server, the power must be switched off prior to removal or insertion of boards as this server does not support the hot-plug feature.

{{note|It is strongly recommended to wear a grounded wrist strap when handling electronic boards to avoid electrostatic discharges that may seriously damage the electronic circuits! }}
