2.3 Drive mounting
You can mount the drive in any orientation using four screws in the
side-mounting holes or four screws in the bottom-mounting holes. See
Figure 3 on page 19 for drive mounting dimensions.
• Allow a minimum clearance of 0.030 inches (0.76 mm) around the
entire perimeter of the drive for cooling.
• Use only 6x32 UNC mounting screws.
• Do not insert the mounting screws more than 0.22 inches (5.6 mm)
into the bottom mounting holes.
• Do not insert the mounting screws more than 0.14 inches (3.6 mm)
into the side mounting holes.
• Do not overtighten the mounting screws (maximum torque: 3 inch-lb).
• Do not use a drive interface cable that is more than 18 inches long.
