9.2Drive orientation
The balanced rotary arm actuator design of the drive allows it to be mounted in any orientation. All drive perfor- mance characterization, however, has been done with the drive in horizontal (discs level) and vertical (drive on its side) orientations, and these are the two preferred mounting orientations.
9.3Cooling
The host enclosure must provide heat removal from the drive. You should confirm that the host enclosure is designed to ensure that the drive operates within the temperature measurement guidelines described in Sec- tion 7.4.1. In some cases, forced airflow may be required to keep temperatures at or below the temperatures specified in Section 7.4.1.
If forced air is necessary, possible
