You can mount the drive in any orientation using four screws in the side-mounting holes or four screws in the bottom-mounting holes. See Figure 3 for drive mounting dimensions. Follow these important mounting precau- tions when mounting the drive:

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

•Use only 6-32 UNC mounting screws.

•Do not overtighten the mounting screws (maximum torque: 6 inch-lb.).

•Do not use a drive interface cable that is more than 18 inches long.
