The drive/controller is intended to be mounted vertically to provide the vents with
enough clearance on the top and bottom of the drive to allow for air flow. The metal
bracket should also be mounted to a metal surface for best thermal dissipation.
A 2-inch head space is recommended from the drive vents to another surface to
ensure the proper ambient temperature ratings are maintained.
It is recommended to have a minimum of 1-inch spacing between drives. This
spacing may be relaxed providing the ambient temperature is kept within limits and
the drive is mounted to a metal surface suitable enough to heat sink the drives.
