Replacing or adding drives 35
If you purchase an additional hard drive from Gateway, you will receive drive
rails that you use to install the new drive in the drive cage. Additional drive
rail kits are also available.
To install an additional hard drive:
1 Turn off the system and disconnect the power cord, modem cord (if
installed), and all external peripheral devices.
2 Remove the left side cover panel. (See “Removing the side cover” on
page 18 and “Preventing static electricity discharge” on page 15.)
3 Place the new hard drive on a static-free surface with the top up and the
connectors facing you.
4 Check the jumper settings on the drive. (See drive documentation for
jumper settings.)
5 Install the two small, plastic drive mounting rails (L rail on the left and
R rail on the right) to the new hard drive. Make sure the front rail
extensions are towards the connector end of the device. Align the wire
retention clips to the mounting holes in the drive and press the rails to
the sides of the drive.
