connector for the drive.

Mount the drive into a PRIMERGY server
When mounting the drive into a server:
●
Use an appropriate screw length.
●
Ensure that no objects such as screw heads, cables, or adjacent devices,
are pressing against the frame.
●
Do not obstruct the ventilation slots at the rear of the drive.
●
Allow sufficient space for accessing the drive’s front panel controls.
To mount the drive into a server:
1. Remove the 5 1/4 inch cover of your server (refer to the instructions in the
documentation provided with your server).
2. Place the drive into the server so that the tape load compartment of the drive
faces the tape load compartment of the server.
3. Insert four screws into the lower mounting holes of the side brackets located
on the left and right sides of the chassis.
