t3 FRU power-down workaround?

is there a way to not have a t3 power down when a FRU is missing, e.g. for instance when pulling a drive permantanly because it cause a loop failure? i know the 'proper' thing to do is have another drive in place, but since i don't have one on hand, the box wants to power down.

i understand the idea behind the PSU's - as it could affect system cooling if the FRU was removed. But other components shouln't cause the same protective measures , e.g. loop card, single drive.

i've tried doing 'disable u1d7', but it won't take the drive offline.

thanks,

j
