Installing Mass Storage Devices

Filler Panels

When you have fewer drives than the hot-swap mass storage cage supports, a

1-inch filler panel must be inserted in each empty disk location. Filler panels ensure that drive cage has the proper ventilation and air flow. Remove the filler panel when you insert a new drive.

CAUTION The filler panels serve an important purpose by helping the internal components ventilate and preventing excessive electromagnetic radiation. If these fillers are left out of the drive shelves, thermal damage and/or excessive EMI could occur.

Drive Spacers

When your drive cage holds a mix of 1-inch and 1.6-inch drives, you may need to add 0.5-inch drive spacers. The drive spacer fills the gap between adjacent drives or between a drive and a filler panel. Disk spacers can be mounted on 1-inch low-profile drives or 1.6-inch half-height drives, so a drive spacer and low- profile drive are the same size as a half-height drive, and a drive spacer and a half-height drive are as large as two low-profile drives.

CAUTION The drive spacers serve an important purpose by helping the internal components ventilate and preventing excessive electromagnetic radiation. If these drive spacers are left out of the drive shelves, thermal damage and/or excessive EMI could occur.

Configurations

Figure 6-1 shows the supported configurations of SCSI hot-swap hard disk drives in both versions of the NetServer. The arrows indicate the order that you insert hard disk drives.

These configurations may use filler panels and drive spacers to close up the front of the hot-swap mass storage cage. If there are gaps in the cage, the drives may not receive the proper ventilation and could suffer thermal damage.

If you have an HP NetServer LH 4, add hard disk drives starting from the bottom of the hot-swap mass storage cage. If you are using one or more filler panels, insert them at the top of the cage.
