4.If there is a cover plate over the drive bay you plan to use, remove it. Refer to your computer system documentation for instructions. Keep any screws or mounting clips; you may need them to secure the tape drive to the drive bay.

Note: If necessary, remove a floppy disk drive to provide an empty half-high drive bay for the tape drive. Refer to your computer system documentation for instructions. Do not replace your floppy drive A with the tape drive.

Important

If you remove a floppy disk drive to install the tape drive, be sure to change your system configuration files to reflect the change. Refer to your computer system documentation for instructions.

Installation Procedure

Follow these steps to install the tape drive in the drive bay:

1.Check for the presence of a load resistor in your computer. If it is present, disconnect the load resistor cable from the power supply. Refer to your computer system documentation for more information.

2.Use #6 32 screws to attach two slide rails to the sides of the tape drive as shown in Figure 5. You can use rails that are provided with your computer system or purchase rails from Exabyte or your computer supplier.

Note: If there is more than one set of mounting holes in the rails, use whichever set allows you to position the tape drive flush with the front of the drive bay.
