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.

Channel disk drives in the disk enclosure used with
