Installing or replacing a hard drive
Use this procedure to add or replace hard drives in a drive bay. Your server supports as
many as three 1-inch high 3.5-inch (fixed or hot-swap) SATA hard drives. You can purchase
additional drives through your Gateway Sales representative.
Installing a fixed SATA hard drive
Use these instructions only if you have installed the fixed drive kit.
To install a fixed SATA hard drive:
1 Follow the instructions in “Preventing static electricity discharge” on page 37. Make
sure that you turn off the server, then unplug the power cord and all other cables
connected to the server.
2 Follow the instructions in “Opening the server case” on page 38.
3 Unlock the bezel (if necessary) and remove it by pulling it from the chassis.
4 Press the latch on the back of the fixed drive carrier and slide it out of the bay. Store
the drive in an anti-static bag.
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 Fixed drives are not hot swappable. Before installing or removing the
drive, make sure that power is turned off and the power cord is
unplugged.
