Removing and installing a hard drive

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.

Use this procedure to add or replace a hard drive in a hot-swap bay. Your server
supports as many as ten 1-inch high, 3.5-inch hot-swap SATA and SATA II hard
drives or ten 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:

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.
