WHAT ACTIONS ARE REQUIRED:

Remove a FEM

1. Lift the lever to eject the card.
2. Rotate the card up and off the retainer.
3. Place the removed FEM on an antistatic mat.

Install a FEM

1. Determine the correct set of motherboard FEM connectors for your FEM.
   a. An L-shaped FEM uses connectors FEM-X and FEM-0.
   b. A rectangular double-width FEM uses connectors FEM-0 and FEM-1.
   c. A rectangular single-width FEM uses connector FEM-0.

2. Insert the FEM edge into the bracket and carefully align the FEM so that the card connects with the correct motherboard connectors.
3. Lower the card and press the card into place.
   If the card has rubber bumpers you can press directly on them to seat the card into the connectors.
4. Return the server module to operation.

2. Perform one of the following tasks based on your verification results:
   * If the previous steps did not clear the fault, refer to doc 1004229.1 for information about the tools and methods you can use to diagnose and clear
