Card Replacement Process
Replacing the FESMIC
To replace the FESMIC, follow these steps:
Step 1 If WMIC 3 is present, remove WMIC 3 and WMIC 2 as one unit. If only WMIC 2 i s present, remove it.
Step 2 Disconnect the LED cable from the back of the FESMIC.
Step 3 Remove the FESMIC.
Step 4 Make sure that the rotary switch on the new FESMIC (see Figure 2-8) is set opposite to the rotary switch
on the SMIC.
For example, if the SMIC rotary switch is set to 1, then set the FESMIC switch to 0, and vice versa.

Step 7 Connect WMIC 2 (or WMIC 2 and WMIC 3 as one unit) to the FESMIC card as described in the “Adding
a New WMIC” section on page 2-7.
