Mounting the drive and connecting cables
Do not touch the connector pins or any components on the con-
trol board without observing static-discharge precautions.
Always handle the drive by the frame only.
The drive may be mounted in any orientation (horizontally, verti-
cally, and any combination thereof); however, you must ensure
that the drive receives adequate air flow for cooling.
1.
Mount the drive to the host system’s chassis using four 6-32
UNC screws. Two mounting holes are in each side of the
drive and there are four mounting holes in the bottom of the
drive.
The maximum length that the screws should extend into the
chassis mounting holes is 0.15 inch (3.81 mm), measured
from the outer surface of the chassis. Tighten the screws
down evenly. Do not over-tighten or force the screw if it does
not seem to screw in easily, because this means the threads
are not properly aligned. In this case, back the screw out
and try again.
Installation des Laufwerkes
und Anschluß der Kabel
Beachten Sie beim Handhaben und Anfassen der Anschlußstifte
und Komponenten die Vorsichtsmaßnahmen zur Verhinderung
statischer Aufladung. Fassen Sie das Laufwerk nur am Rahmen
an.
Das Laufwerk kann in beliebiger Orientierung (horizontal, ver-
tikal oder schräg) installiert werden; jedoch muß dafür gesorgt
werden, daß ein ausreichender Luftstrom zur Kühlung des Lauf-
werkes vorhanden ist.
