QuickSpecs for the ML570 G2 doesn't seem to mention any rails, only:

NOTE: In order to install certain tape drives internally, you may need to remove the rails that come standard on the drives and then re-insert the screws in the mounting holes. Mounting screws are shipped standard with server.

Just done something similar on an ML370. The HP DLT drive didn't come with the correct screws to fit into the drive bay, but if you have a blanking slot then you can use the screws from that. It should slide straight back in and lock correctly.

Just to check, your putting the SDLT into one of the removeable 5.25 inch bays?

If you are then I have some spare screws, PM me your business address and I'll send them to you. You should have them for Friday.

Cheers.
