4. From the [Equipment Name] page, click the Actions button and select Deactivate.
5. Once the Deactivate Equipment window opens, it will notify you if the equipment is currently in use and will list the applicable PM schedule(s). If the equipment is in use, it must be replaced in the schedule(s) before it can be deactivated.
