Units like that (mines, fighters and SATs) are carried in an inert state. They are not sitting there on racks 'ready to go' they have to be "launched or primed" for operation. They would be sitting there as "Space Junk" with maybe a small chance that a small percentage of them would be in an operational mode.

There was that epsiode of DS9 where they were preparing mines. Dax was demanding they hurry up and launch all the mines, while she avoided enemy fire. O'Brien told her she risked setting off every mine on the ship.
Edit: not that I wish to go on about it but if by some chance I've misunderstood his concern then I apologise for any seeming criticsm. I made the mistake once of failing to understand someone's point.
