Mounting Bay; Mounting Hardware - HP StorageWorks Ultrium 232i Getting Started Manual

What are the mounting requirements for the tape drive?

Mounting bay

You need one industry-standard, 5¼-inch, half-height bay in which to install the
HP StorageWorks Ultrium tape drive. Power consumption is 11 Watts idle, 21 Watts typical
and 33 Watts maximum. Power requirements are:
Voltage
5 V
12 V

Mounting hardware

For many servers, no mounting tray or rails are required. Devices simply slide into the server's
chassis and are fixed with screws. Other servers have built-in trays or rails.
Rail kits for a number of industry-standard servers may be available. For more details refer to:
www.hp.com/go/connect .
Some servers use non-standard mounting rails and do not include spares. If this is the case
with your system, you will have to order these accessories from the server manufacturer before
you can install the tape drive.
Airflow requirements
The server must provide forced cooling and be capable of drawing 6 cfm (0.17 m
or 10.08 m
4 cfm at 35
Ensure that all fans in your server are in place and operational, and make sure that empty
bays have the appropriate blanking plates installed so that airflow is maintained.
Do I need additional items for installation?
• You may also need mounting hardware. See above.
• If you do not have a spare, suitably rated SCSI connector on your server, you must install a
new HBA (also known as a SCSI card). The SCSI bus rating should match or be higher than
the SCSI rating of your tape drive. See Table 1, "supported SCSI bus types," on page 9 for
recommended HBAs. For specific details relevant to your server model please refer to
www.hp.com/go/connect . You will need to purchase and install the new HBA into an
unused, 64-bit PCI expansion slot within your server before installing your tape drive. (The
kit can also be installed in a 32-bit PCI expansion slot, but this may limit performance.)
