Below is a configuration example for adding a FEX to a pair Nexus 5000 for redundancy.  Two 5000s  while adding two 2000 FEX devices.  You have to do basically the same config on both 5000s:

  vpc 106
speed 10000

interface Ethernet2/15
  description **FEX 106**
  switchport mode fex-fabric
  fex associate 106
  channel-group 106
speed 10000

fex 107
  pinning max-links 1
