    f. Use conductive field service tools. g. When removing a FRU, immediately place it in anti-static packaging. h. Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry. Replace a 5U enclosure drive module in its carrier The operator's (ops) panel registers either a logical fault or a drawer hardware fault or both. You must locate a faulty drive in its carrier (DDIC) within the related drawer by its amber fault condition LED.
