Installing a hard drive
Use this procedure to add or replace hard drives in the hot-swap bay. Your server
supports up to three 1-inch high 3.5-inch SCA SCSI hard drives. You can
purchase additional SCSI drives through your Gateway sales or Technical
Support representative.
To install a hard drive:
1
Remove the front cover (if installed).
Important Gateway tests and verifies the operation and compatibility
of the drives it sells. Especially in a hot-swap or
mission-critical environment, additional or replacement
drives must conform to Gateway standards.
Caution Before you remove a failed drive, use the appropriate
software and utilities installed on the server to stop all
activity on the failed drive. Instructions for using the
software are provided by the software manufacturer.
Failure to do so may destroy the data on the drive.
