Mounting Recommendations
The mounting hole locations and size of the drive are shown below:
The drive will operate in all axes (six directions) and will stay within the specified error
rates when tilted ±5 degrees from these positions. Performance and error rate will stay
within specification limits if the drive is operated in the other permissible orientations from
which it was formatted. Thus a drive formatted in a horizontal orientation will be able to
run vertically and vice versa.
The recommended mounting screw torque is 0.3±0.05 Nm.
The recommended mounting screw depth is 3.0±0.3 mm for bottom and 3.5±0.5 mm for
horizontal mounting.
The user is responsible for using the appropriate screws or equivalent mounting hardware
to mount the drive securely enough to prevent excessive motion or vibration of the drive at
seek operation or spindle rotation.
