Drive installation

This section describes the physical mounting of the drive in the host cabinet and the logical installation as a system member, which is called drive setup.

Disc drive mounting

Do not touch the connector pins or any PCB compo- nents without observing static-discharge precautions. Always handle the drive by the frame only.

The drive may be mounted in any orientation.

Mount to host system chassis using four 6-32 UNC screws. Three mounting holes are in each side and four in the bottom of the drive. See Figure 6. The maximum length that the screws should extend into the side chassis mounting holes is 0.15 inch (3.81 mm), and 0.20 inch (5.1 mm) into bottom holes, measured from the outer surface of the chassis. The minimum thread engagement for all mounting screws is .12 inch (3.0 mm). Tighten the screws evenly to a maximum torque of 6 in-lb (.675 NM). Do not over tighten or force when screw does not seem to screw in easily (threads not correctly engaged).
