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. See Figure 3 for drive mounting dimensions. Follow these important mounting precautions when mounting the drive: • Allow a minimum clearance of 0.030 in (0.76 mm) around the entire perimeter of the drive for cooling as a guideline. Please refer to Section 3.5 for final cooling requirements. • Use only M3 x 0.5 metric mounting screws. • Four (4) threads (0.080 in) minimum screw engagement recommended. Also ensure maximum screw length does not bottom out in mounting holes. • Do not overtighten the mounting screws (maximum torque: 4.5 in-lb, ± 0.45 in-lb). Figure 3.
