www.gateway.com 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 six 1-inch high, 3.5-inch hot-swap SATA and SATA II hard drives or six 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. 1 Unlock the bezel (if necessary) and remove it by pulling it from the chassis. 2 Put your finger in the drive release lever and pull out. The drive release lever opens. 3 Pull the drive carrier straight out of the server. 37
