Mounting the Drive
To mount the Drive as shown in Figure 6, follow this
procedure:
1. First, remove the cover by backing out screw at
bottom of front cover.
2. Push on backplate with thumbs while pulling the
cover toward you with index fingers, creating a
gap. See Figures 3 and 4.
3. Pull bottom of cover towards you; lift up on
cover and remove. See Figure 5.
Gap

Figure 4 - Gap between cover and backplate
Figure 5 - Pull out bottom of cover
4. With the cover removed, permanently
mount the Drive using the top slotted hole,
plus either the three bottom holes (for flat
surface mounting) or the center bottom hole
(for attaching to a post or stud). See Figure 6.
5. Ensure the Drive’s ventilation holes
are not blocked and there is enough space
around it to allow free air flow (minimum
75mm clearance on top, bottom, and sides).
See Figure 6. Once the Drive is mounted,
electrical wiring can be connected.
6. To reattach the Drive cover, hook the
top of it on backplate (be sure to leave a gap).
Lower bottom of cover into place. Push cover
evenly against backplate, eliminating the gap.
See Figure 7.
7. Replace screw at bottom of front cover.
