330fx conversion options

Patrick Vaughan — Mon, 15 Oct 2012 05:27:09 GMT

A client of ours has a 330fx (4 * 2.6GB drives). They also have 2 spare 5.2GB drives that was taken from a 400ex(?) that was upgraded. Will it be posible to put the 5.2 GB drives in the 330fx and remove the 2 extra 2.6 GB drives. What they will be left with is a 330fx, but now with 2 5.2GB drives only. Is this configuration posible at all?

Patrick, I guess you have C1104F jukebox?
Your old 400ex was with these 2x5.2G drives (C1170J) and minimal number for 'Sundot' is 2 drives.
It is possible to install these 'new' drives in the 330fx jukebox physically, but after this library may not work because minimal number of drives installed in 'SolarFlare' is 4 (C1104J). Although it may work, but HP will not support it
