APEX MODULE SETUP
All Apex modules connect to the system through the AquaBus. Once connected,
they are automatically detected and added to the system configuration. All Apex
modules are upgraded using the steps and directions found in the section titled
Updating Firmware.
To connect a new Apex Module to the system, plug one end of the AquaBus cable
into an available AquaBus port on the system, and the other end into the new

WARNING: NEVER plug standard USB devices into any AquaBus connector
or AquaBus accessories into computer USB ports. Damage to the AquaBus
accessory and/or USB device may result.
