That sounds familiar. We had a disk drive fail on our 520 late last year. The 520 was sitting on the floor and the CE said it looked like it had a lot of dust around the filters. We moved it off of the floor (which is, also, raised) on to a desk. The filters do look a lot cleaner; we'll just have to wait and see.

CE was talking to IBM about us losing so many power supplies. He was asked if we were doing something with the raised floor tiles. We are replacing them all. Apparently the only time IBM has seen this before was another customer that did the same thing and had pretty much the same experience. Something about dust from underneath the floor.
