What have you been doing to rectify this concern? Please write SCACAD@SNYBSCVA with how you are handling computer abuse on your campus. I'm sure all the campuses would like to know what seems to work for you. A compilation of all responses will be published in an upcoming newsletter.

Apparently there was some bad info in the trade journals regarding the 4.3 GB disk drives and the excessive heat they were generating. Yes, they do generate more heat than an RZ28, because they are spinning twice as fast, therefore they have a bigger motor. Digital is offering some upgrade kits to handle the heat dissipation necessary to insert these drives in existing StorageWorks cabinets. For the BA350, the deskside tower, they have a $99 fan upgrade kit, and for cabinets like the SW800, they have a $275 Fan Shelf that is installed in the lower, rear slot. With these fan upgrades there is NO problem.
