Step 4. Mounting the drive
Mount the tape drive; then attach the SCSI and power cables to it. If there is
insufficient working space to attach the connectors after mounting the drive,
attach the cables first. To mount the drive, follow these steps:
1. Locate an available 5.25-inch bay or space in your computer to mount the
tape drive. Remove the cover plate from the bay selected. Place the drive
horizontally or vertically.
2. Align the drive-bay screw holes with the threaded holes in the drive
housing. When you mount the tape drive, follow these guidelines:
v Ensure that no objects such as screw heads, cables, or adjacent devices
are pressing against the frame.
v Ensure that nothing blocks the ventilation slots on the bottom and rear of
the tape drive.
Attention:
screws might be too long and can cause damage to the drive.
3. Insert a screw through each of the drive-bay holes into the threaded holes
in the drive and tighten the screws with a screwdriver.
Use only the screws that come with the tape drive. Other
