Plastic Mounting Rails
The plastic mounting rails are the key to installing peripheral devices in your computer. Two rails are
required to mount a peripheral device. The rails (DWF-20652-00) are universal; they can be mounted on
either the right or left hand side of the peripheral. Figure 15 explains how the rails are installed on
various types of peripherals:

For Tandberg 1/4" streaming tape drives and all hard disk drives, mount
the rails with the short end pointing toward the rear of the computer

the rear of the computer cabinet.
