15.2 General Troubleshooting
Note: The Ambient Drawer is a service replaceable module. If a defect is
observed, the normal response is to replace the module. Replacement or
repair of specific items should be performed only on an as needed basis
if replacement of the module is not possible and the service engineer has
the appropriate components on hand. After the module has been
repaired, use the alignment plate to ensure that the module is properly
aligned.
