RE: Installing a Fujitsu M2624FA into a VAXstation 4000-90.

Call DEC Direct, and ask them for the part number for the mounting
bracket for the drive.  However, since you already have the H-Bracket,
I'll assume that you have a disk inside already?  If so, take out that
disk and look at the part number stamped on the mounting bracket.
if not, then call DEC Direct, and tell them that you've upgraded from
one machine to another and that you need the mounting bracket part
number.  The bracket is simply a stamped piece of metal...

If you opt to just connect the cables, and sit it inside, at least use some
duct tape to secure it to the H-Bracket.  I've done this before.
