Replacing a hot-plug drive
The hot-plug drives are located at the bottom of the front panel. The hot-plug
bay supports as many as six 1-inch high 3.5-inch SCA-II SCSI hard drives.
The hot-plug drives are assigned SCSI ID numbers by the hot-plug backplane
with the drive at the far left side of the hot-plug bay assigned SCSI ID 0. The
backplane assigns SCSI IDs to the other drives in order up to SCSI ID 5 at the
far right side of the hot-plug bay.
Install the drive in the left-most drive bay first and in increasing order by SCSI
ID number thereafter.
Important Gateway tests and verifies the operation and compatibility
of the drives it sells. Especially in a hot-plug or
mission-critical environment, additional or replacement
drives must conform to Gateway standards.
