4.4MOUNTING

Drive mounting orientation, clearance, and ventilation requirements are described in the following subsections.

4.4.1Orientation

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.
