Mounting Orientation

Page 35 highlights

5.4.3 Mounting Orientation The drive will operate in all axes (6 directions). The drive will operate within the specified error rates when tilted ± 5 degree from these positions. Performance and error rate will stay within specification limits if the drive is operated in the other permissible orientations from which it was formatted. Thus a drive formatted in a horizontal orientation will be able to run vertically and vice versa. The recommended mounting screw torque is 3 + / - 0.5 kgf.cm. The recommended mounting screw depth is 3.0 + / - 0.3 mm for bottom and 3.5 + / - 0.5 mm for horizontal mounting. The system is responsible for mounting the drive securely enough to prevent excessive motion or vibration of the drive at seek operation or spindle rotation, using appropriate screws or equivalent mounting hardware. Vibration test and shock test are to be conducted by mounting the drive to the table using the bottom four screws. Specification 27

5.4.3
Mounting Orientation
The drive will operate in all axes (6 directions).
The drive will operate within the specified error rates when
tilted ± 5 degree from these positions.
Performance and error rate will stay within specification limits if the drive is operated in the other permis-
sible orientations from which it was formatted.
Thus a drive formatted in a horizontal orientation will be
able to run vertically and vice versa.
The recommended mounting screw torque is 3 +/- 0.5 kgf.cm.
The recommended mounting screw depth is 3.0 +/- 0.3 mm for bottom and 3.5 +/- 0.5 mm for horizontal
mounting.
The system is responsible for mounting the drive securely enough to prevent excessive motion or vibration of
the drive at seek operation or spindle rotation, using appropriate screws or equivalent mounting hardware.
Vibration test and shock test are to be conducted by mounting the drive to the table using the bottom four
screws.
