A minimum gap of 25 mm at the front and 50 mm at the rear is recommended.
Page 213 MediaStore5100 and 5000 series troubleshooting and maintenance • Persistent Login Failures: A warning alarm (yellow) is generated for any drive that experiences persistent Login failures. If a Spectrum server cannot log in to a disk for more than five seconds, that drive will be temporarily removed from the RAID set (subject to the conditions mentioned above), but no Spectrum server in the RAID set will attempt to start a rebuild on the drive's RAID set, even if a hot spare is available.

In extreme circumstances, this may cause the MediaDirector to shut down its file system, stopping all playback and recording on that Spectrum server (but not affecting other Spectrum servers in an EFS system.) The drive will be automatically bypassed, and an alarm message will be generated instructing the operator to remove and reinsert the drive.
