asked on HP proliant 350 G3
Does anybody know if the HP Proliant 350 G3 is phyically able to take a HP StorageWorks Ultrium 232 tape blade. It is to replace a Compaq DLT 8000 tape drive.
When i looked at replacing it the ultrium doest seem to fit the cradle that is in the case ie it wont lock into place with the mechanism for the cradle.

Based on what I see here:

I would say yes, at least to the smaller one. These would not fit into the hot swap bays, but should fit into the regular size bays.

The way I understand the question: The user wants to use a blade-unit in a ML350 server (that is not a blade-server).
So yes - if I understand the question correct - the asker needs some kind of converter :)

The tape blade is a tape drive plus a SAS/PCIe interface controller in a blade so you should be able to take the half height tape drive out of the blade and mount it in the server but you will then need a SAS interface card to put in the ML350. If you just bought it then I would return it and buy the normal internal drive instead. You'd be better offf with a SCSI one than SAS as there's onboard SCSI port on the ML350 G3.
I'm note sure - but I don't think you can use a Blade-unit for a non-Blade-'product'.
But I think you can get some kind of 'cradle' that can fit you tape-drive - and then fit your server. I don't have the part-no. though. I'll get back to you if I can find it.
