Remove a Switched NEM

This procedure is for removing a Switched NEM if you do not plan to replace it. If you plan to replace a NEM, see Replace a Switched NEM.

1. In the rear of the chassis, locate the Switched NEM that you want to remove.
2. If you are removing a Switched NEM from a powered-on chassis, use the ILOM CLI to prepare the Switched NEM for removal:

   -> stop /CH/NEMn

   where n is 0 through 1 for NEMs 0 or 1, respectively. For example:

   -> stop /CH/NEM1

   See Managing the NEM Remotely (ILOM) for more information on connecting to ILOM.

3. Remove all cables from the NEM.
4. Press together and hold the buttons on both the right and left ejector levers.
   
5. To unlatch the NEM from the chassis, open the ejector levers by extending them outward.
6. Holding the open ejector levers, pull the NEM toward you until you can pull the rest of the module out by hand.

   Support the weight of the NEM with one hand at the bottom of the NEM.
