Two sliding drawers hold DDICs and their related sideplanes.
Two drawers each can contain 42 DDICs. Drawer slides lock the drawer in the fully open service position,
l
so require release latch activation to close the drawer.
DDICs slide into 42 slots in each drawer. The upper drawer, Drawer 1, contains slots logically numbered
l
from 0 to 41 in rows moving from top to bottom, then from left to right. The lower drawer, Drawer 2, contains
slots logically numbered from 42 to 83, following the same pattern.
