Securing the Tape Drive in the System

9

This section describes how to mount and secure the tape drive in the 

system. Because of the variety of mounting possibilities for tape drives, 

the instructions presented here are general guidelines. Use these 

instructions only as a guide for mounting the tape drive in the system. 

Mount the tape drive in the system by performing the following steps:

Ensure that the host computer and all peripheral devices are turned 

off.

Position the tape drive in the system and align the tape drive 

mounting holes (side or bottom) with those in the system (see 

 and 

Secure the tape drive in the bay or chassis using four M3 x 8mm long 

screws. 

The computer system and the tape drive SCSI IDs are only 

checked when you turn both the computer system and the 

tape drive off and then on again. To change the SCSI ID after 

installation, turn off the system, change the tape drive’s SCSI 

ID, and then turn on the system. 

In some system configurations, it may be more convenient to 

connect the SCSI bus and power cables to the tape drive before 

securing it in the system.

The screws used to mount the tape drive must be 

M3 x 8mm long. This kind of screw is exactly the 

proper length and will not damage the tape drive.
