General Mounting Information
Mounting
Positions
Mounting position is either horizontal with the Eject button and indicator
LEDs to the right, or vertical.
Mechanical
Dimensions
The Dock occupies a half-size 3½ or 5¼ inch slot with standard holes for
3mm mounting screws on both sides and at the bottom of the Dock
chassis. See Figure 6 for the mechanical dimensions of the Dock.
Dimensions are in mm. General tolerances: +/-0.5mm.
Screw and Torque
Use standard 3mm mounting screws (M3x0.5) with maximum screw
torque 0.5 Nm. Maximum screw length is 5mm.
Cable Lengths
The recommended maximum SATA III cable length is 1 meter. However,
to increase system noise immunity, the cable should be kept as short as
possible.
Power Connector
The power connector is a standard 15-pin SATA power connector.
Chassis Grounding The Dock chassis must be grounded to the system chassis through the
mounting screws. Correct grounding of the chassis is important to
reduce radiated electromagnetic interference, and for electrostatic
discharge (ESD) protection.
