Disk Modules and Disk Module Filler Panels

Disk modules, shown in Figure 3, contain 3.5-inch Low Profile Ultra 3 LVD
disks.

The disk module’s components are protected by a metal grill on the disk
module’s bottom side.

WARNING

Disks require careful handling and ESD precautions.

The plastic parts of the disk are safe to touch:

Extractor handle (A in Figure 3)

Latch tab (B)

You may also safely touch the top and bottom of the disk module without
damaging the disk module.

A metal grill protects exposed circuits against damage when the disk module is
laid circuit-side down on a flat surface.

The initial disk options for this product are 18-GByte, 36-GByte, and 73-Gbyte
10 K RPM disk drives. 18-GByte and 36-GByte 15 K RPM disk drives are also
supported. 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.

Caution

Fillers must be installed in unused slots in order to maintain even
cooling for the installed disk modules.
