Installing the Internal DAT 320 Tape Drive in Your Server
DAT 320 Quick Start Guide
Caution:
Static electricity can damage electronic components. Always wear an
antistatic wrist strap if one is available. If not, after you have disconnected
power from the server and removed the cover, touch a bare metal part of
the chassis. Similarly, touch a bare metal part of the drive before installing
it.
Note:
If mounting hardware is supplied with your tape drive, it may not be exactly the
same as shown in the illustrations.
Different models of server require different mounting methods. The server may also
incorporate a locking mechanism to hold the tape drive in place.
Please check your server documentation to ascertain the correct method of mounting
and to check whether mounting hardware is provided with the server.
Mounting Rails
Some servers require mounting rails. These may be metal or plastic rails attached to the
filler panel of the server's drive bay.
1
Use a regular Phillips screwdriver to attach the appropriate rails. Use M3 screws 5
mm (0.2 in).
Ensure you have the M3 screws. The rails may be attached to the filler panel by
screws of a different thread/size type and these should not be used. If in doubt,
refer to your server documentation.
Mounting Screws
Other server models only require the use of special locating screws with no mounting
rail.
1
Use a screwdriver to attach the appropriate screws. You may need to purchase the
M3 screws separately. Position the screws (see
).
