PC Server 320 - Hot-Swap trays fit tightly in DASD bay

Applicable to: World-Wide

Service Information:
The hot-swap tray assembly may fit tightly into the hot-swap shell assembly of some PC Server 320 systems (M/T8640). In severe cases, it is possible for an excessively tight fit to prevent a good connection between the hot-swap tray and backplane card.

When diagnosing hardfile problems on these systems, either solid or intermittent, examine the fit of the hot-swap tray in the hot-swap shell assembly. If the fit is tight enough to potentially cause a poor drive connection, consider replacing the tray or shell.

If only one hot-swap tray is too tight, and is tight in all slots, try replacing the tray first, FRU p/n06H3956. If all trays are too tight, try the hot-swap shell assembly first, FRU p/n06H5068.
