3.4 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. Refer to Figure 3 for drive mounting dimensions. Follow these important mounting pre-
cautions when mounting the drive:
Allow a minimum clearance of 0.030 in
ches (0.76mm) around the entire perimeter of the drive for cooling.
Use only 6-32 UNC mounting screws.
The screws should be inserted no more than 0.150 inches (3
.81mm) into the bottom or side mounting holes.
Do not overtighten the mounting screws (maximum torque: 6 inch-lb).
