Replacing a hot-plug drive

The hot-plug drives are located at right side of the front panel as you face
the system. The hot-plug bay supports as many as four 1-inch high 3.5-inch
SCSI hard drives.
The hot-plug drives are assigned SCSI ID numbers by the hot-plug backplane
with the drive in the upper left corner of the hot-plug bay assigned SCSI ID 0.
The backplane assigns SCSI IDs to the other drives in order up to SCSI ID 3
in the lower right corner of the hot-plug bay. See "Hot-plug backplane" on
page 8 for the locations of the drives by SCSI ID number.
Important
Install the first drive in the upper left corner, then install drives in increasing
order by SCSI ID number thereafter.
26
Replacing and Adding Internal Devices
Gateway tests and verifies the operation and compatibility
of the drives we sell. Additional or replacement drives must
conform to Gateway standards, especially in a RAID or
mission-critical environment.
