You can mount the drive using four screws in the side-mounting holes or four screws in the bottom-mounting holes. See Figure 4 for drive mounting dimensions. Follow these important mounting precautions when mount- ing the drive:

•Allow a minimum clearance of 0.030 inches (0.76 mm) around the entire perimeter of the drive for cooling.

•Use only M3 UNC mounting screws.

•Do not overtighten the mounting screws. Maximum torque: 4.0 inch-lb (0.4519 N-m).

•Four (4) threads (0.080 inches, 2.032 mm) minimum screw engagement recommended.

•Avoid excessive drive distortion when mounting.
