You can mount the internal LTO-3 Tape Drive either horizontally or
vertically, with the drive’s left side facing up (see figure 3 ).
If you mount the drive:
• Vertically the left side of the drive must face up and the side of the
drive should be within 5 degrees of horizontal.
• Horizontally, the base of the drive must be within 15 degrees of
horizontal and the drive must not be upside down.

Mounting Orientations
Mount the drive in a 5.25-inch, full-height drive bay and secure it using
two M3.0 X 5 metric screws on each side of the drive. Do not use screws
longer than 5 mm or you may damage the drive. Figure 4 shows the
locations of the mounting-screw holes on the side and bottom of the
drive, respectively.
