Gateway 955 manual Installing a hard drive, To install a hard drive

Chapter 4: Installing Components

Installing a hard drive

Use this procedure to add or replace hard drives in the hot-swap bay. Your server supports up to three 1-inch high 3.5-inch SCA SCSI hard drives. You can purchase additional SCSI drives through your Gateway sales or Technical Support representative.

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.

To install a hard drive:

1 Remove the front cover (if installed).

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.
