Chapter 4: Installing Components

Installing a SCSI 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. Especially in a hot-swap or mission-critical environment, 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.
