Hello All !
I found the following summary about a 73GB disk on xp1000.
In the moment here we want to extend our xp1000 with also a disk at the size of
about 80GB inside the xp1000
Currently we have two disks inside one at 4-GB and one at 18-GB

CAM Equipment Device Table (EDT) Information:
Bus/Target/Lun Device Type ANSI Vendor ID Product ID Revision N/W
-------------- ----------- ------ --------- ---------------- -------- ---
0 0 0 Direct SCSI-2 DEC RZ2CD-KS (C) DEC 0306 W
0 1 0 Direct SCSI-2 SEAGATE ST318275LW 0001 W
My question is : did someone got such a 80 ( or more) GB disk
as a third disk inside the xp1000
and if so did you have experienced any over-heating problems ?
My problem is : would it be too much with 3 disks inside - because the
xp1000 may became too hot - so we might have to change one disk with the
bigger ( 80 GB ) one instead of just add-on ?
At the moment i got no owners-guide - maybe i can also find things in there ?
Thanks in advance for any hints !
