Installing the FEM

After ensuring that the server module has the required service processor, firmware, OS, and patches, you can install the FEM into the server module.

To Prepare for Installation

Perform an orderly shutdown of the server module.

Remove the server module from the system chassis.

Use an ESD wrist strap to prevent electrostatic damage to components.

Attach the adhesive copper strip of the antistatic wrist strap to the server module. Wrap the other end twice around your wrist, with the adhesive side against your skin.

Remove the main cover of the server module.

To Install the FEM Into a Sun Blade T6320 Server Module

There are two types of support brackets for the Sun Blade T6320 server modules. Newer Sun Blade T6320 server modules have a latch to secure the FEM in place.

Slide the FEM card at an angle into the support bracket and carefully align the connectors (FIGURE 3-1).

Carefully press the rubber bumpers on the FEM to secure the FEM to the connectors.

Replace the server module cover and insert the server into the chassis.
