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.
