3.6.2Mounting Screw Clearance
The printed-circuit board assembly (PCBA) is very close to the mounting holes. Figure 3-7specifies the clearance between the screws in the mounting holes and the PCBA. Do not use mounting screws longer than the maximum lengths specified in Figure 3-7.The specified screw length allows full use of the mounting-hole threads, while avoiding damaging or placing unwanted stress on the PCBA. Clearance from the drive to any other surface (except mounting surfaces) must be a minimum of 1.25 mm (0.05 inches).

CAUTION: The PCB is very close to the mounting holes. Do not exceed the specified length for the mounting screws. The specified screw length allows full use of the mounting-hole threads, while avoiding damaging or placing unwanted stress on the PCB.
Figure 3-7specifies the minimum clearance between the PCB and the screws in the mounting holes. The maximum torque applied to the screws must not exceed 8.6 inch-pounds.
