3.2.4 Precautions on mounting (1) Mounting frame structure and clearance
a) For vibration resistance and heat dissipation, mount this optical disk drive
using a frame having an embossed structure shown in Figure 3.6 or a similar
structure providing an equivalent function.
b) A mounting screw must have an inward projection (entry depth) of 3 mm or
less from the outer surface of the mounting frame of the optical disk drive as
shown in Figure 3.6.
c) The upward-downward and left-right clearance between the external surface
of the mounting frame of the optical disk drive and the user's emboss-
structure frame must be at least 1.5 mm.
d) The floating clearance of the optical disk drive must be 1.5 mm or more.
e) When mounting the optical disk drive, the screw tightening torque must be
0.4 to 0.45Nm (4 to 4.6kgf-cm).
If the screw tightening torque exceeds the prescribed value, the unit fixture
tap may break, leading to degraded device performance.
f) When the optical disk drive (with a panel) is mounted in a cabinet, there
should be no distortion or deformation in the target housing or the mounting
fittings. Furthermore, the optical disk drive's panel must not be deformed.
If the drive is used with the panel deformed, ejection of the cartridge will
be faulty.
Make sure that the door closes from any position after mounting the optical
disk drive.
