FID entry point
Table 4 on page 7 lists the FRU identifiers (FIDs) that you might see and the field replaceable units
(FRUs) that you can change. The reported FID is displayed on the service panel or the library manager in a
FID message, is noted in the CE Error Log, and is reported to the host. For example, in the message FID1
82, 1 is the severity and 82 is the FID. “Intervention messages” on page 84 describes the different types
of messages and their impact on 3592 drive availability. The service information message (SIM) record,
which the 3592 drive sends to the host, also has the reported FID information. See “Service and Media
Information messages (SIMs and MIMs)” on page 39.
