board or the host adapter. If you are installing multiple drives,
use a daisy-chain cable.
Verify that pin 1 of the connector on each end of the interface
cable aligns with pin 1 of its matching connector on the drive
and on the host. Pin 1 is usually denoted by a stripe on the
side of the ribbon cable. The location of pin 1 is shown in
Figure 1.
Mounting the drive
You can mount the drive in any orientation. Use the following
guidelines for either bottom mounting or side mounting. Figure 4
on page 9 shows mounting hole locations.
Caution. Use of mounting screws that are too long can damage
the drive. Do not insert a bottom mounting screw more
than 0.20 inches (6 turns) into the drive frame. Do not
insert a side mounting screw more than 0.20 inches
(6 turns) into the drive frame.
Bottom mounting holes. Use 6-32 UNC-2A screws in four of
the four available bottom mounting holes as shown in Figure 4.
Side mounting holes. Use 6-32 UNC-2A screws in four of the
six available side mounting holes as shown in Figure 4.
