One takes the now the MEL and reads
The fire extinguishing may be
inoperative in one or more cargo
compartments provided
associated cargo compartment is
empty or does not contain
inflammable or combustible
materials.
You got it?
No you're reading it wrong
It says Installed 2, Nbr reqd 1 : And that must be No1 bottle. As it says no2 bottle may be inop by inference that means No1
must be operative.
The note means that if the extinquishing system, for whatever reason in the aft cargo hold is inop it can not be used, you can only use the fwd one. But if it is because of bottle 1 discharge you're going nowhere end of story. Because bottle 1 has to be installed.
