DDIC in a 5U enclosure
Each disk drive is installed in a DDIC that enables secure insertion of the disk drive into the drawer with the appropriate SAS carrier
transition card.
The DDIC features a slide latch button with directional arrow. The slide latch enables you to install and secure the DDIC into the disk slot
within the drawer. The slide latch also enables you to disengage the DDIC from its slot, and remove it from the drawer. The DDIC has a
single Drive Fault LED, which illuminates amber when the disk drive has a fault.
The following figure shows a DDIC with a 3.5" disk drive:
