Installing a hard drive

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

Important

The numbers on the left side of the hot-swap bay identify the SCSI ID of each drive. Install the topmost drives first.

Gateway tests and verifies the operation and compatibility of the drives it sells. Additional or replacement drives must conform to Gateway standards.

To install a hard drive:

1 Unlock the front cover’s lock, then swing the hot-swap bay door open.

2 If a drive has failed, determine which drive has failed by running storage console software. Match the software’s SCSI ID for the failed drive with the SCSI ID number to the left of the hot-swap bays.
