CAUTION:
Static electricity can damage electronic components. Always wear an antistatic wriststrap 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.
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 cords 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.
NOTE:
The server must provide forced cooling and be capable of drawing 6 cfm (0.17 m
3
/minute or 10.08
m
3
/hour) of air through the tape drive at up to 35° C ambient operation. This rises to 8 cfm for up
to 40° C ambient operation. Ensure that empty bays have the appropriate blanking plates installed
so that airflow is maintained.
4.
Remove the filler panel from a spare 5¼-inch bay of your server, as described in your server’s
documentation. With some servers, such as the HP AlphaServer ES40, you must also remove the
half-height device divider.
5.
You are now ready to install your tape drive.
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 “
” on page 25 now.
CAUTION:
The Ultrium half-height drive allows only 3 mm of the engagement of the screw into the drive. If you
remove an existing drive, do not assume the screws that you remove are the correct length for your new
Ultrium drive. Always use the screws supplied with your Ultrium drive.
HP ProLiant servers
NOTE:
If mounting hardware is supplied with your tape drive, it may not be exactly the same as shown in
the illustrations.
Different models of server require different mounting methods. The server may also incorporate a locking
mechanism to hold the tape drive in place. See “
