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 four 1-inch high, 3.5-inch hot-swap SATA and SATA II hard drives or four 1-inch high, 3.5-inch
hot-swap SAS hard drives. You can purchase additional drives through your Gateway Sales or
Customer Care representative.
To remove and install a hot-swap hard drive:
1 Unlock the bezel (if necessary) and remove it by pulling it from the chassis.
2 Put your finger in the drive release lever and pull out. The drive release lever opens.
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
Before you remove a failed drive, use the appropriate software and utilities
installed on the server to stop all activity on the failed drive. Instructions for using
the software are provided by the software manufacturer. Failure to do so may
destroy the data on the drive.
