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.

Mounting rails

Some HP ProLiant servers, such as ML570, require mounting rails. These may be metal or plastic rails

attached to the server’s drive bay filler panel.
Use a regular Phillips screwdriver to attach the appropriate rails. Use the M3 screws provided with the

tape drive, in the screw pack labeled ’General Mounting Screws’, as shown in

Figure 4

.

Ensure you do use the M3 screws provided. The rails may be attached to the filler panel by screws of

a different thread/size type and these should not be used. If in doubt, refer to your HP ProLiant server

documentation.

Mounting screws

Other HP ProLiant server models, such as ML350 and ML370, only require the use of special locating

screws with no mounting rail.
Use a T8 Torx screwdriver to attach the appropriate screws. Position the screws, as shown in

Figure 5

.

HP ProLiant ML350: Use the metal shims and screw pack labeled ‘ProLiant 350’. These have a

thicker head than the general mounting screws.

HP ProLiant ML370: Use the metal shims and screw pack labeled ‘ProLiant 370’. These have a

thick offset piece and a thicker head than the general mounting screws.

NOTE:

If the screws in the provided packs are not suitable for your server, you must purchase the screws

separately. Be sure to use 3mm M3 screws.
