Use a PoziDrive #1 screwdriver to attach the appropriate rails. Use the 4mm M3 screws provided
with the tape drive, in the screw pack labeled 'General Mounting Screws', as shown below.
CAUTION:
Ensure that you use the 4mm M3 screws provided. The rails may be attached to
the filler panel by screws of a different thread/size type and these screws should
not
be used. If
the screws are too long, they may penetrate the mechanism and void the warranty.
If the server or enclosure rails are less than 1.5 mm thick, use the washers from the GENERAL
MOUNTING SCREWS screw pack for a proper fit.
Mounting screws
Other ProLiant server models, such as ML350 and ML370, only require the use of special locating
screws with no mounting rail.
Use a T15 Torx screwdriver to attach the appropriate screws. Locate both screws lightly in position
before tightening, as shown in the following figure.
•
ProLiant ML350: Use the metal shims and screw pack labeled ‘ProLiant ML350'. This screw
pack contains 3mm screws, which have a thicker head than the general mounting screws.
•
ProLiant ML370: Use the metal shims and screw pack labeled ‘ProLiant ML370'. This screw
pack contains shoulder screws, which have a thick offset piece and a thicker head than the
general mounting screws.

Other servers
Attach the appropriate mounting hardware. Refer to the manufacturer documentation for
instructions.
•
If you are installing on a server that requires a tray, place the tape drive in the tray.
•
Some servers have snap-on mounting rails attached to the filler panel, which can be removed
and attached to the tape drive with screws.
Install drive
NOTE:
If cable access for the tape drive bay is awkward, it may be easier to access power
and other connections if the tape drive is installed in the top bay. You may need to move other
devices to lower bays to free the top bay. Refer also to your server documentation.
