Mounting the Drive

You can mount the drive either vertically or horizontally. The drive will meet
all performance specifications when mounted at any orientation.

!

Caution: The surface(s) on which you mount the drive should be
flat and parallel to prevent uneven pressure on the drive.
Mounting the drive on an uneven surface could cause the drive’s
base to deform, degrading drive performance.

!

Caution: When using the side mounting holes, verify the screw
length to ensure clearance from the drive's printed circuit board
before tightening the screw.

Refer to figure 2-1 in chapter 2 for dimensions and the location of mounting
screw holes.
