HP StoreEver Ultrium Tape Drives - Manual (Page 24)

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 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, in the screw pack labeled ’General Mounting Screws’, as shown in Figure 5 .

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 6 .
• HP ProLiant ML350: Use M3 mounting screws. These have a thicker head than the general
mounting screws.
• HP ProLiant ML350: Use the metal shims and screw pack labeled ‘ProLiant 350’. These have a
thicker head than the general mounting screws.
• HP ProLiant ML370: Use M3 offset mounting screws. These have a thick offset piece and a
thicker head than the general mounting screws.
• HP ProLiant ML370: Use the metal shims and screw pack labeled ‘ProLiant 370’. These have a
