In general, yes, you should worry about it.  I would keep a close eye on
the drive.  Look for any more error messages.

If you keep getting error messages, you may want to call IBM and inquire
about it.  They may be able to tell you what part of the drive "field
replaceable unit 1" is. 

If they would put their manuals on their web site like Quantum and Seagate,
you might be able to find out for yourself.

You might want to check and see if it is running too hot.  Here's a script
that might do that, depending on whether your firmware supports it.  (I've
tried it on the 18G version of that drive, with firmware version 03B0, and
it works fine.)

========================================
#!/bin/ksh

TEMPC=`camcontrol cmd -n da -u 1 -c "4D 0 76 0 0 0 0 0 20 0" -i 32 "s9 i1"`

TEMPF=`echo " 2 k $TEMPC 9 * 5 / 32 + p" | dc`

echo "The temperature is: $TEMPF F"
========================================

I think the default temperature threshold (before it starts spewing errors)
is 60C.  Ideally, though, you'll want to run a good bit cooler than that.

You'll need to change the '-u 1' above to '-u 0' for your drive.
