4.4. Mounting the Gold Solo Hornet
The Gold Solo Hornet was designed for mounting on a surface. When integrating the Gold Solo
Hornet into a device, be sure to leave about 1 cm (0.4") outward from the heatsink to enable
free air convection around the drive. If the Gold Solo Hornet is enclosed in a metal chassis, we
recommend that the Gold Solo Hornet be screw-mounted to it to help with heat dissipation.
The Gold Solo Hornet has screw-mount holes on each corner of the heatsink for this purpose –
see below.

When the Gold Solo Hornet is not connected to a metal chassis, the application’s thermal
profile may require a solution for heat dissipation due to insufficient air convection. In this
case, we recommend that you connect an external heatsink. Elmo has an external heatsink
(Catalog number: WHI-HEATSINK-2) that can be ordered for this purpose – see below.
