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. Refer to
for more information.
•
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 50 °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 mounting multiple drives near each other,
maintain at least one half inch of space between drives.
Connecting the Power Supply
If you need information about choosing a power supply, refer to
•
Connect the power supply “+” terminal to the connector terminal labeled “V+”.
•
Connect power supply “-” to the connector terminal labeled “V-”.
•
The green ground screw on the corner of the chassis should be connected to earth ground.
•
Use 18 or 20 gauge wire.
The NI SMD-7611/7612 drives contain an internal fuse that connects to the power
terminal. This fuse is not user replaceable. If you want to install a user serviceable fuse in your
system, install a fast acting fuse in line with the + power supply lead. Use a 4 amp fuse for the
SMD-7611 and a 7 amp fuse for the SMD-7612.
Caution
Do not reverse the wires. Reverse connection will destroy your drive and
void your warranty.
