Unpacking
Before you unpack the contents of your drive package, inspect the shipping containers for damage.
If you spot damage to the container, notify your carrier immediately.
When you unpack the package, compare the items received with those on the packing list. If any
item is missing or damaged, please contact your place of purchase immediately.
NOTE: internal tape drives come in two mounting configurations, one for 3.5-inch half-
height bays and one for 5.25-inch half-height bays. These two drives are identical, except
that the drive designed for 5.25-inch installations has mounting brackets on each side of the
drive and a different front bezel.
