When a Commander SE size 5 is through-panel mounted a baffle plate is required to
ensure the correct level of air flow is maintained through the heatsink. The fitting of a
baffle plate causes the heatsink to act as a chimney; this enhances the air flow along
the heatsink fins to aid cooling (this naturally occurs when the drive is surface mounted).
You may make a baffle plate from any suitable conducting or non-conducting material.
Use M6 x 12mm max (or equivalent) thread-forming screws to screw into the holes in
the heatsink, or tap the holes to a suitable thread size.
