30 Gateway 7450R Server System Manual
The hot-plug drives are assigned SCSI ID numbers by the hot-plug backplane
with the drive on the left end of the hot-plug bay assigned SCSI ID 0. The
backplane assigns SCSI IDs to the other drives in order up to SCSI ID 2 on
the right end of the hot-plug bay. See “Hot-plug backplane” on page 8 for the
locations of the drives by SCSI ID number.
Install the first drive in the left bay, then install drives in increasing order by
SCSI ID number thereafter (left to right).
To install an additional hot-plug drive:
1 Remove the drive carrier from the drive bay by unclipping the retention
lever and rotating the lever out away from the front of the system.
2 Continue pulling outward until the drive carrier is entirely out of the
system.
3 Using six screws from the accessory kit, install the new drive in the carrier.
Make sure the drive is oriented correctly.
Important Gateway tests and verifies the operation and compatibility
of the drives we sell. Additional or replacement drives must
conform to Gateway standards, especially in a RAID or
mission-critical environment.
