Before you begin
Observe the following precautions when replacing the disk drive:
•Ensure you have a replacement part available before removing the failed component. Removing a component impacts cooling within the enclosure. Use a drive blank if a new drive is not available.
•HP recommends that the replacement drive matches the capacity and speed of the original drive. For example, if the original drive was a 300 GB, 15K RPM drive, the replacement would be a 300 GB, 15K RPM drive.
•P63x0 and P65x0 storage systems support SAS disk drives with EVA on the front identification label. Other SAS drives are not supported.
•Do not remove more than one disk drive at a time from the enclosure. Doing so would impact cooling of the enclosure and can cause data loss.
•Parts can be damaged by electrostatic discharge. Use proper antistatic protection.
•Have a copy of the product user guide available for reference. You can download a copy of the user guide from the product support page on the HP website.
