IBM 49Y9883 mounting kit

The IBM DDS Generation 6 USB Tape Drive maintains the competitive total cost of ownership of Digital Data Storage. Its USB interface supports Plug and Play capability with the latest System x systems, and can be installed internally in supported servers or supported externally in tape drive enclosures. This option is a higher performance and capacity alternative to the IBM DDS Generation 5 drive.

Various servers support the tape drive mounted internally with the addition of a 3.5-inch tape enablement kit.
