3.4 Drive mounting
Users can mount the drive in any orientation using four screws in the side-mounting holes or four screws in the
bottom-mounting holes. See Figure 3 for drive mounting dimensions. Follow these important mounting precautions
when mounting the drive:
Allow a minimum clearance of 0.030 in (0.76mm) around the entire perimeter of the drive for cooling.
Use only 6-32 UNC mounting screws.
The screws should be inserted no more than 0.140 in (3.56mm) into the bottom or side mounting holes.
Do not overtighten the mounting screws (maximum torque: 6 in-lb).
3.4.1 Mechanical specifications
Refer to Figure 3 for detailed mounting configuration dimensions. See Section 3.4, “Drive mounting.”
NOTE These dimensions conform to the Small Form Factor Standard documented in SFF-8301
and SFF-8323, found at www.snia.org/technology-communities/sff/specifications
