11.3 Installation conditions
If the drive is not installed under the following conditions, it may not operate properly or cause
damage to the drive.

(1) When mounting the equipment, use tapping screw holes located on the left and right both sides
of the equipment.
When using screws to fix the connector from the host computer to the equipment, use tapping
screw holes located on the back side of the equipment.
■ Recommended screw tightening torque: 0.12 N·m
■ length of screws is shown in Chapter 13 Mechanical Dimensions.
(2) Do not apply an excessive force (press, pull or twist) to avoid distorting the equipment.
■ Recommended width of the mounting frame surface on left and right
Dimension L: 102.6 +/- 0.2 mm (See Fig.1)
■ Recommended value for Top and bottom case : See Fig.1, Fig.2 and Fig.3 for detail.
■ After mounting the connector, do not apply excessive force the connector of the equipment
in horizontal and/or vertical direction.
■ Tighten screws evenly.
■ Mounting frame surface contacted with the equipment must be flat.
(3) Allow enough space as much as possible in all directions around the equipment so the
equipment does not apply any vibration, mechanical shock, etc. from peripheral instruments.
■ For the maximum dimension of the equipment thickness
Recommended clearance: more than 0.5 mm
■ Recommended clearance around the front bezel: more than 1 mm
