Clearance from the drive to any other surface (except mounting surfaces) must be a
minimum of 1.25 mm (0.05 inches).
3.5.3
Ventilation
The DiamondMax 17 80-160GB AT hard disk drives operate without a cooling fan,
provided the base casting temperature as measured where the motor is attached to the
base does not exceed 140
°
F (60
°
C). Drive reliability and warranty will be limited if
the drive is exposed to temperatures greater than 60
°
C when operating and/or
temperatures greater than 70°C when in storage/not operating.
Figures 3-8 and 3-9 show airflow recommended for adequate cooling. Clearance from
the drive to any surface above and below the drive must be a minimum of 1.25mm.
Maxtor leaves the design and application of cooling and clearance for the disk drive
to the user, but the drive must maintain a case temperature at or below 60
°
C.
