10. Secure the tape drive with the mounting screws provided, either in the sides or bottom of the tape

drive sled, as appropriate for the server or workstation chassis. See Figure 3-12.

NOTE: Some servers and workstations require mounting rails for internal

devices. Contact the manufacturer for specific information, as the

mounting rails have varying thicknesses. Consequently, if a different

screw is required to mount the tape drive, use the following guidelines.

CAUTION Using a screw that is too short can result in inadequate

clamping force. Using a screw that is too long can cause

damage to the internal circuit cards. Please see the note

following Figure 3-12 for guidance.
