*Caution and notes for the 180-GB HDDs:
Caution: The 180-GB HDDs should not be intermixed with other HDD types in the same
array domain (behind the same ACP pair). If 180-GB HDDs are used, all HDDs in that
array domain should also be 180-GB HDDs.
Note: Subsystems which contain the 180-GB HDDs do not have the same availability or
serviceability as those subsystems which do not contain 180-GB HDDs. Some offline
maintenance may be required.
Note: The 180-GB HDDs are intended for archival use and do not have characteristics
that make them suitable as performance devices.
