Hello, I'd like to know how many RZ29B-VW drives can be supported in the internal storage shelf in DEMI-SABLE(2000-4/275). We installed 7 * RZ29B-VWs in a internal shelf at our customer with raid5, but we encountered 1 RZ29B drive had gone to fault state and we replaced it with new one and then, unfortunately we encountered the same problem with another RZ29B-VW the next day.we found the RZ29B drives were so hot I know RZ29* drive makes too much heat itself and DEMI-SABLE has no cooling fans in the internal shelf. Are the any restrictions in installing RZ29B-VW drives in a internal shelf in DEMI-SABLE? Thanks in advanced. YOUNG-SEOB LEE/KOREA MCS

No matter what anybody says, I think you have answered your own
question. The only difference (whether officially supported or not) is
that one scenario has DIGITAL paying for the replacement drives.
Sorry I have not been truly helpful...

Hello,
To avoid the RZ29B-VW's overheating problem, we installed 4 RZ29B-VWs
in the odd number slots in internal shelf , and we couldn't find the
overheating problem anymore.
Does this mean it's impossible to install RZ29B-VWs above 5 in the internal
shelf in DEMI-SABLE?
Any restrictions or any rules in installing RZ29s in internal shelf
in DEMI-SABLE(2000-4/275) again?
Thanks in advanced.
