ML350 G5 Rackmount & HDD

[fynos]

Hi:
I have done a little research for my issue and I didnâ t find anything so, I thought it would be best to open this thread.
I would like to buy and install the rack mount kit for my ML350 G5 HP server.
The problem is that it works in a vertical position for 3 years and I am a little bit afraid that if I buy the rack mount kit and change the position of my server to horizontal it may appear HDD failure, because the final position of the heeders itâ s going to be completely up side down.
My hard drive is a serial scsi 72GB and 146GB.

Does anyone know anything about this?
Thank you in advance
John

hi,

i think, it could happen that some HDD will fail, but it could also in the old position.

Are their any other ideas on the subject or any experience that you would like to share?

hi,

its always a risk to manipulate with functional servers ( devices ), but the server was designed to have both position rack/tower, so i think it will be ok.
