in the sides of the autoloader and use the screws provided with the rail kit to secure the drive,

as shown in figure 10b.

HP ProLiant servers: Ensure that you use M3 mounting screws. Some HP ProLiant server

models will provide special M3 mounting or locating screws and these should be used. The

server may incorporate a locking mechanism used in conjunction with the locating screws to

hold the autoloader in place.

Other servers: Ensure that you use M3 mounting screws.
