Unpack and Install the New FESA
Install the FESA
The following explains how to insert the FESA into the system enclosure.
1. With the ejector on the FESA in the full-open position (Figure 2-6 on page 2-11),
grasp the FESA by the ejector with one hand and support the bottom edge of the
FESA with the other hand (Figure 2-7 on page 2-12). Hold the adapter so that its
ejector is at the top, as shown in Figure 2-6, and insert the adapter into the upper
part of the carrier as shown in Figure 2-7.
2. Push the FESA to the rear of the slot, but don't force it.
3. Press the blue-green tab on the FESA ejector and latch the ejector to seat the
FESA against the backplane.
Caution. Apply equal pressure to both the top and bottom of the FESA when pushing it into
the slot to avoid damaging the connector pins. If pins are damaged, both the FESA and the
backplane (or enclosure) must be replaced.
