2.2.4 Installing the Rackmount Tape Drive
Installing the tape drive requires securing the drive in its bay or chassis and
connecting SCSI bus and power cables.
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 2–3 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.
