Attach mounting hardware - some servers
If your server requires special rails or other hardware to install the tape drive, mount them on the tape
drive now.
If your server does not require special mounting hardware, proceed to Install drive (page 9) now.
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
or must be purchased separately.
CAUTION: If you remove an existing drive, do not assume the screws that you remove are the
correct length for your new LTO drive. Always use the screws supplied with the LTO half-height drive
and use washers or shims to tighten, if necessary.
The following diagrams illustrate common mounting methods. If mounting hardware is supplied with
your tape drive, it may not be exactly the same as shown in the illustrations.
