Installation Notes

ƒThe drive should be mounted carefully on the surface of 0.1mm or less flatness to avoid excessive distortion.

ƒIn order to prevent short-circuit under any circumstances, a space of 0.5mm or more should be kept under the PCB.

ƒSpace should be kept around the drive to avoid any contact with other parts, which may occur due to shock or vibration.

ƒThe temperature of the top cover and the base must always be kept under 60C to maintain the required reliability.

ƒBe sure not to cover the breathing hole to keep the pressure inside the drive at a certain level

ƒDo not apply any force to the top cover, except the screw areas on top cover. Maximum force to the specified area is 2N.

ƒThe drive contains several parts which may be easily damaged by ESD (Electric Static Discharge). Avoid touching the interface connector pins and the surface of PCB. Be sure to use ESD proof wrist strap when handling drive.

ƒThe four mounting screws should be tightened equally with 0.3N-m (3kgf-cm) torque. The depth should be 3.0mm minimum and 3.5mm maximum.
