CAUTION:

The Ultrium half-height tape drive allows only 3 mm engagement of the screw into the tape

drive. To avoid damage to the tape drive, it is important to use the correct screws, which

have a slightly thicker head than general mounting screws, and the metal shims. The shims

prevent overtightening of the screws which may cause the drive mounts to sheer.

4.

Slide the half-height tape drive most of the way into the bay (1) and attach a spare power cable from

the server’s internal power supply to the power connector on the tape drive. Connect the device

cable (SCSI or SAS) to the appropriate ports on the HBA and tape drive (2).

NOTE:

Please refer to the documentation supplied with your tape drive for more information

about cabling.
