Adding Additional 5.25-Inch Devices - Gateway 7400 System Manual

Adding additional 5.25-inch devices

You can use the three additional, externally accessible, 5.25-inch drive bays
to install additional 5.25-inch devices such as a CD writer or a tape backup
drive. Use the rails from the existing filler trays to install new drives. You may
need to purchase an additional cable of sufficient length to connect the
existing devices and the new device to the connector on the system board.
To install an additional 5.25-inch device:
1
Turn off the system and disconnect the power cord, modem cord (if
installed), and all external peripheral devices.
2
Observe all safety and static electricity precautions. (See "Preventing static
electricity discharge" on page 22.)
3
Remove the bezel. (See "Removing the bezel" on page 25.)
4
Remove the left side cover panel. (See "Removing the side cover panel"
on page 26.)
5
Remove the filler tray from the front of the drive bay by pressing in on
both front rail extensions, then move the tray slightly out of the bay by
pushing on the back of the tray.
6
Pull the drive out of the chassis.
Caution
7
Snap the rails onto the drive, making sure the front rail extensions are
towards the front of the device. The rails are labeled.
The server was designed to adhere to electromagnetic
interference requirements and the tray is an integral part
of the system. Installing an approved device should
continue to maintain those standards. If you remove the
device, you must reinstall the tray.
