3 Overview
Finless-type drives do not have cooling fins, which are the main heat-generating
component of the drive. The finless-type drive uses the enclosure panel (metal plate) as a
cooling fin to release the heat generated by the drive. This will let you install the drive in
a smaller enclosure panel.
Finless-type drives are recognized components by UL (Underwriters Laboratories Inc.).
Machines and devices integrated with this product must satisfy Conditions of
Acceptability on page 30 conditions for compliance with UL standards.
