Securing the Internal Tape Drive 3
This section describes how to mount and secure the tape drive in the
system.
Because of the variety of mounting possibilities for tape drives, the
instructions presented here are general in nature. Use these instructions
only as a guide for mounting the tape drive in your system.
Mount the tape drive in the system by performing the following steps:
1 Position the tape drive in the system and align the tape drive
mounting holes (side or bottom) with those in the system. Figure 9
shows the mounting locations and dimensions for the tape drive.
2 Using four M3 x 8mm long screws, secure the tape drive in the bay or
chassis.
Note: In some system configurations, it may be more convenient to
connect the SCSI bus and power cables to the tape drive before
securing it in the system.
Caution: The screws used to mount the tape drive must be M3
x 8mm long. This type of screw is exactly the proper
length and will not damage the tape drive.
