Removing and installing a hard drive
Use this procedure to add or replace a hard drive in a hot-swap bay. Your server supports as
many as twelve 1-inch high, 3.5-inch hot-swap SATA and SATA II hard drives or twelve 1-inch
high, 3.5-inch hot-swap SAS hard drives. You can purchase additional drives through your
Gateway Sales or Customer Care representative.
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.
