panel. Are
yours older drives? Maybe the panel was added later because getting
the lid
open without it is a right royal PITA.......
They might be. Next time I'm in one of those racks I'll check the
manufacturing dates.
....and when I was downstairs reorganising some of the museum I forgot to
check on my own RL02.....
and NOW
I'm thinking 'if I know it's a pain to get the lid off without
the
panel maybe I DID see some drives without it' :)
Yeah...You can open the lid from a dead drive (or when it's
inconvenient to get power to it) by unscrewing the rear top lid,
lifting it up, and sliding it back a little bit. That is a real pain
though.
Yep, I even remember doing it, so my other observations don't hold much
water :)
cheers
