2. Carefully slide the FIM assembly toward the front of the server to remove it from the chassis.
3. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the two screws that secure the plastic temperature sensor housing to the FIM assembly, and then detach the housing from the FIM assembly.  Note - You do not need to remove the temperature sensor from the housing.
4. Disconnect the FIM cable from the FIM assembly and set the FIM assembly aside.

3. Install the replacement Front Indicator Module:

1. Unpack the replacement FIM and place it on an antistatic mat.
2. If not installed, install the FIM cable through the plastic temperature sensor housing.
3. Connect the FIM cable to the replacement FIM assembly
4. Using a Phillips screwdriver, tighten the two screws to secure the temperature sensor housing to the FIM assembly.
5. Carefully insert the FIM assembly into the front panel of the server chassis.
