Maxtor DiamondMax 17 80-160GB Serial ATA Hard Disk Drive

Installation
3.5.2
Clearance
Clearance from the drive to any other surface (except mounting surfaces) must be a
minimum of 1.25 mm (0.05 inches). See Figure 3-5.
3.5.3
Ventilation
The DiamondMax 17 80-160GB Serial ATA 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 131
°
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 3-6 and 3-7 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.

Lengthwise Airflow Cooling
CAUTION:
The PCB is very close to the mounting holes. Do not exceed the spec-
ified length for the mounting screws. The specified screw length allows
full use of the mounting hole threads, while avoiding damaging or
placing unwanted stress on the PCB. The DiamondMax 17 80-160GB
Serial ATA specifies the minimum clearance between the PCB and the
screws in the mounting holes. To avoid stripping the mounting hole
threads, the maximum torque applied to the screws must not exceed
8 inch-pounds.
A maximum screw length of 0.25 inches may
be used.
