Step 4: Attach mounting hardware

If your server requires special rails or other hardware to install the tape drive, mount them on

the tape drive in this step.
If your server does not require special mounting hardware, proceed to “Step 5: Install the

drive” on page 17 now. For example, HP AlphaServers do not require special mounting

hardware.

HP ProLiant servers

Different models of server require different mounting methods. The server may also

incorporate a locking mechanism to hold the tape drive in place. See “Step 7: Secure the

drive” on page 21.
Please check your HP ProLiant server documentation to ascertain the correct method of

mounting, and to check whether mounting hardware is provided with the server.

Mounting rails

Some HP ProLiant servers, such as ML530 and ML570, require mounting rails. These may be

metal or plastic rails attached to the server's drive bay filler panel.

Use a regular Phillips screwdriver to attach the appropriate rails. Use the M3 screws provided

with the tape drive, as shown in Figure 5a.
Ensure you do use the M3 screws provided - 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

HP ProLiant server documentation.

Mounting screws

Other HP ProLiant server models, such as ML350 and ML370, only require the use of special

locating screws with no mounting rail.

Use a T8 Torx screwdriver to attach the appropriate screws. You may need to purchase the

M3 screws separately. Position the screws, as shown in Figure 5b.
• HP ProLiant ML350: Use M3 mounting screws. These have a thicker head than the standard

M3 screws.

• HP ProLiant ML370: Use M3 offset mounting screws. These have a thick offset piece and a

thicker head than the standard M3 screws.

Other servers

Attach the appropriate mounting hardware. Refer to the manufacturer’s documentation for

instructions.
