(6) Service clearance area
The service clearance area, or the sides which must allow access to the HDDs for installation or
maintenance, is shown in Figure 4.6.

(7) External magnetic field
The drive should not be installed near the ferromagnetic body like a speaker to avoid the influence of
the external magnetic field.
(8) Leak magnetic flux
The HDDs use a high performance magnet to achieve a high speed seek. Therefore, a leak magnetic
flux at surface of the HDDs are large. Mount the HDDs so that the leak magnetic flux does not affect
to near equipment.
