Step 4: Attach mounting hardware

If your server requires special rails or other hardware to install the tape drive, mount them on
the tape drive in this step.
If your server does not require special mounting hardware, proceed to "Step 5: Install the
drive" on page 17 now. For example, HP AlphaServers do not require special mounting
hardware.
Caution The Ultrium drive only allows 3 mm of the engagement of the screw into the drive. If you
remove an existing drive, do not assume the screws that you remove are the correct length for
your new Ultrium drive. Always use the screws supplied with your Ultrium drive.

HP ProLiant servers

Different models of server require different mounting methods. The server may also
incorporate a locking mechanism to hold the tape drive in place. See "Step 7: Secure the
drive" on page 21.
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 server's drive bay filler panel.
1
Use a regular Phillips screwdriver to attach the appropriate rails. Use the M3 screws provided
with the tape drive, in the screw pack labeled General Mounting Screws
5a.
Ensure you do use the M3 screws provided. The rails may be attached to the filler panel by
screws of a different thread/size type and these should not be used. If in doubt, refer to your
HP ProLiant server documentation.

Mounting screws

Other HP ProLiant server models, such as ML350 and ML370, only require the use of special
locating screws with no mounting rail.
1
Use a T8 Torx screwdriver to attach the appropriate screws. You may need to purchase the
M3 screws separately. Position the screws, as shown in Figure 5b.
• HP ProLiant ML350: Use the metal shims and screw pack labeled 'ProLiant

• HP ProLiant ML370: Use the metal shims and screw pack labeled 'ProLiant
