Replacing a Drive with a Drive Blank
Should a disk drive fail you may wish to replace it with a drive blank using the procedure
in Table 6–2.
CAUTION: Removing more than one disk drive at a time can cause the enclosure to
overheat. Never remove more than one disk drive at a time.
NOTE: Removing a drive from the enclosure affects the airflow in the enclosure. This can result
in an overheating condition that could affect disk reliability. Compaq recommends installing a
disk drive of equal or greater capacity, or a disk drive blank as soon as possible
