The 667276-001 HP Hard Drive Blank Filler is a device that is used in HP G8 servers to fill the empty space in the 2.5-inch small form factor (SFF) drive bays. The purpose of the blank filler is to improve the overall appearance of the server and to prevent unwanted airflow into the empty drive bays, which can impact the cooling performance of the server.
In order to maximize the performance of the server with the 667276-001 Hard Drive Blank Filler installed, it is recommended to ensure that the filler is securely installed in the drive bay and is properly aligned. This will help to prevent any air leaks and will ensure that the cooling performance of the server is not impacted.
In addition to the proper installation of the blank filler, it is important to maintain the overall cooling performance of the server by regularly cleaning the fans and dust filters, and by monitoring the temperature of the server components.
It is also recommended to regularly update the firmware and drivers of the server components to ensure that they are functioning optimally and to address any known performance issues.
Maintenance and TroubleshootingThe 667276-001 HP Hard Drive Blank Filler 2.5 Inch Small Form Factor SFF is a component used to fill the empty drive bay in HP G8 servers. It helps to keep the server's internal layout organized and prevents the exposure of internal components to the environment.
Maintenance of the hard drive blank filler requires regular cleaning and inspection to ensure it is functioning properly. Dust and debris can accumulate over time, which can cause the filler to become difficult to insert or remove. This can be remedied by wiping down the filler with a clean, damp cloth.
In the event of a malfunction or failure of the hard drive blank filler, there are several troubleshooting steps that can be taken:
- Check for physical damage: Inspect the filler for any visible signs of damage, such as cracks or deformities, which could cause it to become inoperable.
- Check server compatibility: Make sure the filler is compatible with the server being used. HP G8 servers use 2.5-inch SFF drives, so ensure that the filler being used is also a 2.5-inch SFF.
- Check for proper installation: Ensure the filler is properly installed in the server. It should be securely fastened in the drive bay and properly aligned.
- Check for firmware updates: Make sure the server's firmware is up to date, as this can sometimes resolve issues with the hard drive blank filler.
If these troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, it may be necessary to replace the hard drive blank filler.
Installation and ConfigurationThe installation and configuration process for the 667276-001 HP Hard Drive Blank Filler 2.5 Inch Small Form Factor SFF for G8 Servers:
- Ensure that the server is turned off and unplugged.

- Take the hard drive filler and place it into the empty drive bay.
- Secure the filler in place by securing the retaining screws or clip.
- Close the drive cage and ensure that it is properly secured.
- Turn the server on and check if the filler is detected in the server's BIOS or firmware.
- If the filler is detected, proceed to configure it in the server's management software, such as HP System Management Homepage.
- If the filler is not detected, check the cables and connections, and ensure that the filler is properly secured in place.
- Once the filler is properly installed and configured, it will function as a dummy drive, filling the empty drive bay and ensuring proper air flow within the server.
