3.7 Mounting of Drive
C156-E227-01EN 3-23
(5) Transportation
a) In principle, transport the drive while it is packed with the UP sign pointing
upward.
b) Transport the drive, after it is unpacked, only for a short distance. While
doing so, use cushions to avoid applying shock and vibration. Transport the
drive, after it is unpacked, in one of the orientations described in Section
3.2.2, "Installation orientation." (The horizontal orientation is recommended.)
(6) Storage
a) Use moisture-proof packing when storing the drive.
b) The storage environment must satisfy the requirements during non-operation
specified in Section 2.1.3, "Environmental and power requirements."
c) To prevent condensation, avoid exposing the drive to extreme temperature
changes.
3.7 Mounting of Drive
3.7.1 Mounting procedure
The method of and procedure for mounting the drive vary depending on the
system cabinet structure, etc. Determine the mounting procedure in accordance
with the requirements of your system.
This section describes the general mounting procedure and check items.
See Section 3.2, "Mounting Requirements" for details on mounting the optical disk
drive.
1) Tighten four mounting screws to secure the drive in the system cabinet.
•
The drive has ten mounting holes (both sides: 3 ( 2, bottom: 4). Secure the
drive by using the four mounting holes on either of the two sides or the
bottom.
•
Use mounting screws whose entry depth is 3 mm or less from the outer
surface of the mounting frame of the drive after they are tightened. (See
Figure 3.6)
•
When mounting the drive with screws, the screw tightening torque should be
0.4 to 0.45Nm (4 to 4.6kgfcm).
•
Be extra careful not to damage the parts on the printed circuit board unit while
you mount the drive.
2) After securing the drive, make sure that the drive does not come into contact
with the chassis of the system cabinet. There must be at least a 1.5-mm
clearance between the drive and the chassis. (See Figure 3.6.)
