2. Open the server's fan door by sliding the fan door latches forward and swinging the door up.
3. Slide the storage drive cover forward (toward the front of the server) and lift it up.

3. Remove the Front Indicator Module (FIM).

1. Loosen the screw that secures the FIM assembly to the server chassis.
2. Carefully slide the FIM assembly toward the rear enough to lift it over the Phillips screw and lift the FIM assembly out of the server

4. Install the Replacement Front Indicator Module.

1. Unpack the replacement FIM and place it on an antistatic mat.
2. Connect the FIM cable to the replacement FIM assembly.
3. Carefully lower the FIM assembly into the chassis, position it over the Phillips screw in the server's chassis, and slide it forward so that all the LEDs, USB connectors and Power On button fit into place on the server's front panel.
4. Tighten the Phillips screw to secure the FIM assembly to the server chassis.

5. Re-install the top cover to the storage drive cage.

1. Place the drive cage cover over the server drive cage and slide it back to align the screw holes with the proper holes in the top of the chassis frame.
2. Install the six Phillips screws (three on each side) to secure the cover to the server.
3. Close the fan door.
