SECTION 3: INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
3.1 MOUNTING
The SLO-SYN Drive is mounted by fastening its mounting brackets to a flat
surface. Dimensions are shown in Figure 3.1. If the drive assembly is
mounted against a bulkhead, be sure to apply a thin coating of thermal com-
pound between the drive and the mounting surface before fastening the unit
in place. Do not use too much thermal compound. It is better to use too little
than too much.

NOTE: Case temperature must not 70
°
C (+158
°
F).
When selecting a mounting location, it is important to leave at least two
inches (51mm) of space around the top, bottom and sides of the unit to
allow proper airflow for cooling.
It is also important to keep the drive away from obvious noise sources. If
possible, locate the drive in its own metal enclosure to shield it and its wiring
from electrical noise sources. If this cannot be done, keep the drive at least
three feet (0.9 m) from any noise sources.
