HP StoreEver Ultrium Tape Drives - Manual (Page 22)

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 “
Secure the drive - all servers ” on page 35.
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 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 6 mm M3 screws provided
with the tape drive, in the screw pack labeled 'General Mounting Screws', as shown below.
If you cannot tighten the screws, use the washers provided in the pack.

.
CAUTION:
Ensure you do use the 6 mm 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 the screws are too long, they
may penetrate the mechanism and void the warranty.
Mounting screws
Other HP ProLiant server models, such as ML350 and ML370, only require the use of special locating
screws with no mounting rail.
