If forced air is determined to be necessary, possible air-flow patterns are shown in Figure 11. The air-flow patterns are created by one or more fans, either forcing or drawing air as shown in the illustrations. Conduction, convection, or other forced air-flow patterns are acceptable as long as the temperature measurement guidelines of Section 7.4.1 are met. Above unit Under unit Note.

If you mount the drive using the bottom holes, ensure that you do not physically distort the drive by attempting to mount it on a stiff, non-flat surface. The allowable mounting surface stiffness is 80 lb/in (14.0 N/mm). The following equation and paragraph define the allowable mounting surface stiffness: K x X = F < 15lb = 67N where K is the mounting surface stiffness (units in lb/in or N/mm) and X is the out-of-plane surface distortion (units in inches or millimeters). The out-of-plane distortion (X) is determined by defining a plane with three of the four mounting points fixed and evaluating the out-of-plane deflection of the fourth mounting point when a known force (F) is applied to the fourth point. 11.4 Grounding Signal ground (PCBA) and HDA ground are connected together in the drive and cannot be separated by the user. The equipment in which the drive is mounted is connected directly to the HDA and PCBA with no electrically isolating shock mounts. If it is desired for the system chassis to not be connected to the HDA/PCBA ground, the systems integrator or user must provide a nonconductive (electrically isolating) method of mounting the drive in the host equipment. Increased radiated emissions may result if you do not provide the maximum surface area ground connection between system ground and drive ground. This is the system designer's and integrator's responsibility. 44 Cheetah 15K.7 SAS Product Manual, Rev. C

If forced air is determined to be necessary, possible air-flow patterns are shown in Figure 11. The air-flow pat-

terns are created by one or more fans, either forcing or drawing air as shown in the illustrations. Conduction,

convection, or other forced air-flow patterns are acceptable as long as the temperature measurement guide-

lines of Section 7.4.1 are met.

Drive mounting

Mount the drive using the bottom or side mounting holes. If you mount the drive using the bottom holes, ensure

that you do not physically distort the drive by attempting to mount it on a stiff, non-flat surface.

The allowable mounting surface stiffness is 80 lb/in (14.0 N/mm). The following equation and paragraph define

the allowable mounting surface stiffness:

where K is the mounting surface stiffness (units in lb/in or N/mm) and X is the out-of-plane surface distortion

(units in inches or millimeters). The out-of-plane distortion (X) is determined by defining a plane with three of

the four mounting points fixed and evaluating the out-of-plane deflection of the fourth mounting point when a

known force (F) is applied to the fourth point.

11.4

Grounding

Signal ground (PCBA) and HDA ground are connected together in the drive and cannot be separated by the

user. The equipment in which the drive is mounted is connected directly to the HDA and PCBA with no electri-

cally isolating shock mounts. If it is desired for the system chassis to not be connected to the HDA/PCBA

ground, the systems integrator or user must provide a nonconductive (electrically isolating) method of mount-

ing the drive in the host equipment.

Increased radiated emissions may result if you do not provide the maximum surface area ground connection

between system ground and drive ground. This is the system designer’s and integrator’s responsibility.
