I had several Compaq drives in Compaq servers that started showing the
yellow icon in Insight manager. Upgrading the firmware returned them to
green status. Compaq wanted to try that before sending me a bunch of new
drives on warranty. While I was at it I upgraded all the other stuff
that is in the 'RomPaq'.

Yea. What's up with that?
As I said, I have been running IBM servers for the last couple of years.
Never had a drive fail.
Now I have had 3 drives fail (2 total failures and one SMART warning) in
Compaq servers in the last 3 months. None of the boxes is over a year
old.

I have a drive in one of my Proliants that has the SMART warning. I have
a replacement drive from them to swap in. This is a RAID5 drive on a
SmartArray controller.
I should just be able to pull the drive straight out and shove the new
on in right? Sorry for the dumb question. I just haven't worked with
Compaq in a couple of years. I know with my IBM's I could.
