Secure the tape drive in the bay.
Position the drive so its face plate is aligned with the front of the
computer. Other installed devices should give you an idea of
positioning. The drive itself will be recessed.
Align the screw holes in the drive’s mounting hardware with the holes
in the drive bay. Depending on your computer, the screws may go in on
the front of the bay or through the sides of the chassis. (See figure 2.9
or figure 2.10.)
Fix the drive into place with screws.
•
Use the screws that held on the cover plate if your computer has
mounting hardware that fixes the tape drive in from the front
(figure 2.9).
•
Use the screws provided with the HP rails if you are fixing the tape
drive in through the sides of the chassis. (See figure 2.10.)
