Before you begin
Observe the following precautions when replacing the disk:
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.
Do not remove more than one disk at a time from the enclosure.
Doing so would impact cooling of the enclosure and may cause data
loss.
Parts can be damaged by electrostatic discharge. Use proper anti-
static 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.
