INSTALLATION
3.1 Mounting
The drive must be mounted in an upright position with adequate clearance for cooling and maintenance
access. See Section 2.3 for details. The mounting surface must be sturdy and capable of bearing the
weight of the unit. Fasten the unit to the mounting surface using screws or bolts of an appropriate size
through the holes on the mounting brackets. The enclosure can be wall mounted. Brackets for wall
mounting are standard. Lifting hooks are provided on the top of the enclosure.
In order to allow for proper cooling and air circulation around the enclosure, maintain minimum
clearance of 6 inches on the sides and top and 18 inches below. The drives are cooled by fans with
ventilation openings on the side and bottom of the enclosure. The surface around the enclosure should
be of a non-flammable material and clear of obstacles.
