Attach mounting hardware

If your server requires special rails or other hardware to install the RDX Removable Disk Backup System,
mount them on the drive now. If your server does not require special mounting hardware, proceed to
"Install drive" on page 15 now.
CAUTION:
Static electricity can damage electronic components. Always wear an antistatic wriststrap if one is
available. If not, after you have disconnected power from the server and removed the cover, touch a bare
metal part of the chassis. Similarly, touch a bare metal part of the drive before installing it.

HP ProLiant servers

Different models of server require different mounting methods. The server may also incorporate
a locking mechanism to hold the RDX Removable Disk Backup System in place. See
"Secure the RDX Removable Disk Backup
Please check your HP ProLiant server documentation to ascertain the correct method of mounting, and
to check whether mounting hardware is provided with the server.
• Mounting rails: Some HP ProLiant servers, such as ML530 and ML570, require mounting rails.
These may be metal or plastic rails attached to the filler panel of the server's drive bay. Use a
regular Phillips screwdriver to attach the appropriate rails. Use the M3 screws provided with the
server. If in doubt, refer to your HP ProLiant server documentation.
