2.2.4.1 Securing the Rackmount Tape Drive

This section describes how to mount and secure the drive in the system.

In some systems, it may be more convenient to connect the SCSI bus and power cables to the drive before securing it in the system.

Because of the variety of mounting possibilities for tape drives, the instructions presented here are general in nature. They should be used only as a guide for mounting the drive in your system.

Mount the drive in the system by performing the following steps:

1.Position the drive in the system and align the drive mounting holes (side or bottom) with those in the system. Figure 23 shows the mounting locations and dimensions for the drive.

2.Using four (4) screws, secure the tape drive in its bay or chassis. Note that screws used to mount the tape drive must be 8 x 6-32 UNC-2B screws. There is no danger of these screws touching electronic components or otherwise damaging the tape drive.
