Chapter 2 Installing Internal Tape Drives

Attach Mounting Hardware

Quantum DAT 160 User’s Guide 12

Attach Mounting Hardware

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

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 2

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

the M3 screws.

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.

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.
