Disks and Disk Fillers

Disks, shown in Figure 3, are 3.5-inch Low Profile disks in open metal carriers.
Disks are Fibre Channel.

The open carrier design requires careful handling to avoid disk damage by
breakage and static electricity. Avoid personal contact with hot surfaces.

WARNING

Touching exposed circuits can cause electrical discharge and
disable the disk. Disks require careful handling and ESD
precautions.

The plastic parts of the disk are safe to touch:

Extraction handle (A in Figure 3)

Latch tab (B in Figure 3)

The initial disk options for this product are 73-Gbyte, 36-GByte and 18-GByte
drives. A label on the disk carrier shows the storage capacity and rotational speed
of the installed disk. Obtain information about the latest disk options from HP
sales representatives.

Disk fillers occupy unused slots to balance the air flow.

Caution

Fillers must be installed in unused slots in order to maintain even
cooling around the remaining slots.
