2. Carefully slide the FIM card toward the rear of the server and to the right (viewing the server from the front) and lift it off of the drive cage.
3. Disconnect the FIM cable from the FIM assembly and set the assembly aside.

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. Position the FIM card over the screw holes on top of the storage drive cage 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. Insert and tighten the Phillips screw to secure the FIM assembly in place.

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

1. Place the drive cage cover over the server's 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.

6. Return the Server to operation

1. Remove any anti-static measures that were used.
