Prepare Mounting Bay
1
Assemble the necessary tools and materials:
• Phillips screwdriver
• Flat-bladed screwdriver (if your server uses slotted screws)
• Torx screwdriver (if your server uses torx screws)
• Your server manuals (for reference during installation)
2
Perform a normal system shutdown and turn off the server and any 
connected peripherals. 
3
Remove the cover and front panel from the server, as detailed in your 
server’s documentation.
As you work inside the server, you may have to disconnect other 
signal cables or power cables from other devices to maneuver the 
new drive into place. If you have to do this, make a note of their 
position and connections so you can put them back correctly later.

You are now ready to install your tape drive.
Caution:
To avoid personal injury or damage to the server or tape 
drive, ensure that the server is disconnected from the 
main power supply while you install the drive.
