MOUNTING
Drive mounting orientation, clearance, and ventilation requirements are described
in the following subsections.
4.4.1
Orientation
The mounting holes on the Maxtor DiamondMax 8S 40GB SATA hard disk drives
allow the drive to be mounted in any orientation. Figure 4-5 shows the location of
the three mounting holes on each side of the drive. The drive can also be mounted
using the four mounting hole locations on the PCB side of the drive.
Note:
It is highly recommended that the drive is hard mounted on to
the chassis of the system being used for general operation, as well
as for test purposes. Failure to hard mount the drive can result in
erroneous errors during testing. Drives can be mounted in any
orientation. Normal position is with the PCB facing down. All
dimensions are in millimeters. For mounting, #6-32 UNC
screws are recommended.
