HPE 3PAR StoreServ 8000 Service And Upgrade Manual page 62

CAUTION:
• To ensure proper thermal control, slot-filler blanks are provided with the enclosures and must be
inserted in all unused drive bays in the enclosure. Operate the enclosure only when all drive
bays are populated with either a drive or a blank.
• If the storage system is enabled with the Data-at-Rest (DAR) encryption feature, only use
Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) capable encrypted drives.
• Before installing drives into enclosures, make sure that the enclosures are free of obstructions
(such as loose screws, hardware, or debris). Inspect the drives before installing them in the
enclosure to make sure that they are not damaged.
• To avoid errors when powering on the storage system, all enclosures must have at least one pair
of identical drives installed by following the guidelines for installing, allocating, and balancing
drives.
Prerequisites
Determine an installation plan for allocating and loading the drives based on the provided guidelines,
number of drives, and types of drives.
