Mounting the Drive
You can mount your drive on the wide or the narrow side of the chassis using #6 screws. If possible, the
drive should be securely fastened to a smooth, flat metal surface that will help conduct heat away from the
chassis. If this is not possible, then forced airflow from a fan may be required to prevent the drive from
overheating.
•
Never use your drive in a space where there is no air flow or where other devices cause
the surrounding air to be more than 40°C.
•
Never put the drive where it can get wet or where metal or other electrically conductive
particles can get on the circuitry.
•
Always provide air flow around the drive. When mouting multiple ST drives near each
other, maintain at least one half inch of space between drives.
