You need to remove the CMOD to service it or its internal components.
See Preparing the Server for Component Replacement.
If you are removing a CMOD in a failed state, the lit fault indicator for the CMOD on the FIM shows you the CMOD number and the group to which it belongs.
For CMODs 0-3 access remove the left FM group. For CMODs 4-7 access remove the right FM group. In a four-CMOD configured server, remove the left FM group.
