HP StorageWorks DAT Tape Drives User Guide 13
Attach mounting hardware
If your server requires special rails or other hardware to install the tape drive, mount them on the
tape drive now. If your server does not require special mounting hardware, proceed to ”Install drive”
on page 16 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
NOTE: If mounting hardware is supplied with your tape drive, it may not be exactly the same as
shown in the illustrations.
Different models of server require different mounting methods. The server may also incorporate a
locking mechanism to hold the tape drive in place. See ”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.
