Hi Ramon,

The EVM-HD-8FXS/DID is not hot swappable. The router has to be shutdown.

Ramon,

How do you plan to connect this module "EVM-HD-8FXS/DID" and which router Model?

     ++ You might be inserting it into router using NM or NME as EVM ports are available only on 2821 and 2851 routers:

++ In ISR G1 Routers range only 3845 is capable of OIR(Hot Swap):

++ In ISR G2 only 3900 series is capable of OIR (Hot SWAP):

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/interfaces_modules/services_modules/sre_v/1.5/user/guide/hardware.html

Note* in ISR G2 you will have to use SRE module, in order to connect any NM/NME module.

Just to Add further:

++ The following items use OIR in the Cisco 3925 and Cisco 3945 ISRs:

•Service Modules

•Network modules

**Caution**

The Cisco 3845 and 3845-NOVPN router supports OIR with similar modules only. If you remove a network module, along with any installed WAN or voice interface cards, install another module and card combination exactly like it.

Same holds true for 3900 Series Routers.
