How difficult of a project is it to swap out the cage to a newer 387089-001 cage? What is required?
Thanks.

Re: Old vs New Drive Enclosures ProLiant 1600
To use the new Universal Drives, you just need to replace the 6x1 drive cage.

Yes, it is very simple. Couple of screws and reconnect the cables.
That said, I would recommend you use this cable set (166390-B21), it will give you Ultra3 to the cage instead of Ultra2.
or this set:

Re: Old vs New Drive Enclosures ProLiant 1600
That is correct. You simply need to replace the cage withthe universal cage. I would suggest using a good U320 cert cable instead of the older Compaq ones.

Re: Old vs New Drive Enclosures ProLiant 1600
There were two optional SCSI controllers with the 1600, the Smart Array 3200 (295643-B21) and the Smart Array 4200 (295636-B21). Can you point me to the specifications and any other related documentation on these controllers?
Finally, is there a 36GB 1 inch drive that fit into the old style hot plug cage or did the 36 only come available in the 1.6? If so, what was that part number?
Thanks.

Re: Old vs New Drive Enclosures ProLiant 1600
The two controllers you listed will certainly work in this server. One thing you must know before installing one is that your data currently on the Integrated SCSI Controller will be wiped when you initiallize the Array. You will have to restore your data from tape or something.
Yes, the old blade style 36GB disks came as a 1.6" drive. You really do not want that if you are going to change the cage. When you change the cage, all the disks you had will either need a "new hot plug carrier" (something of a hack, but it works) or new disks.

Re: Old vs New Drive Enclosures ProLiant 1600
The old style 36GB drives only came in 1.6 inch? If they didn't, and there is a 1 inch available, would you happen to know the part number? I understand that if I upgrade to the newer cage, the older drive enclosures will not work. Just looking at two solutions, as it may not be worth the time and energy to upgrade the cages.
Thanks.
