b. Using both hands, gently slide the NSM module into the shelf until the weight of the NSM module is
fully supported by the shelf.
c. Push the NSM module into the shelf until it stops (about half an inch from the back of the shelf).
You can place your thumbs on the orange tabs on the front of each finger loop (of the latching
mechanism arms) to push in the NSM module.
d. Loop your index fingers through the finger holes of the latching mechanisms on either side of the NSM
module.
If you are inserting the bottom NSM module, and if the bottom rail is obstructing access
to the latching mechanisms, place your index fingers through the finger holes from the
inside (by crossing your arms).
e. With your thumbs, press down and hold the orange tabs on top of the latching mechanisms.
f. Gently push forward to get the latches over the stop.
g. Release your thumbs from the tops of the latching mechanisms, and then continue pushing until the
latching mechanisms snap into place.
The NSM module should be fully inserted into the shelf and flush with the edges of the shelf.
9. Reconnect the cabling to the NSM module:
a. Reconnect the storage cabling to the same two NSM module ports.
Cables are inserted with the connector pull-tab facing up. When a cable is inserted correctly, it clicks
into place.
b. Reconnect the power cord to the power supply, and then secure the power cord with the power cord
retainer.
When functioning correctly, a power supply’s bicolored LED illuminates green.
Additionally, both NSM module port LNK (green) LEDs illuminate. If a LNK LED does not illuminate,
reseat the cable.
10. Verify that the attention (amber) LEDs on the NSM module containing the failed DIMM and the shelf
operator display panel are no longer illuminated.
The NSM module attention LEDs turn off after the NSM module reboots and no longer detects a DIMM
issue. This can take three to five minutes.
11. Verify that the NSM module is cabled correctly, by running Active IQ Config Advisor.
If any cabling errors are generated, follow the corrective actions provided.
