Insert a ribbon cable end in the front motherboard connector, underneath the REM.
Caution –Do not insert the REM Storage Drive cable into the connector near CPU 1.

Route the ribbon cable to the rear of the motherboard. Carefully place the cable between CPU 0 and the nearest DIMM slot socket.

Insert a ribbon cable end in the rear motherboard connector, close to the back panel connector.

Locate the REM support bracket on the motherboard, and slide the REM card at an angle into the support bracket, then press the module carefully into the connector.

Replace an Existing REM,

Lift the REM latch upwards.

Remove the existing REM card by pulling the REM card out at an angle away from the support bracket.
