Atlas III
Mounting Guidelines
Mounting Guildelines
The mounting holes on the Maxtor Atlas III 9.1/18.2GB hard disk drive allow
the drive to be mounted in any orientation. Figure 1-1 identifies the location of
the three mounting holes found on each side of the drive and the four mounting
holes found on the PCB side of the drive. Dimensions given are in inches.
Mounting Screw Clearance
Please note that the printed-circuit board assembly (PCBA) is very close to the
mounting holes. For mounting #6-32 UNC screws are recommended. Mounting
screws should be no longer than 0.25 inches (6.25 mm) and maximum torque
applied to the screws must not exceed 14 inch-pounds (1.57 N-m). clearance
from the drive to any other surface (except mounting surfaces) must be a
minimum of 0.05 inches (1.25 mm).
Ventilation
The Maxtor Atlas III 9.1/18.2GB hard disk drive operates without a cooling fan,
provided the ambient air temperature does not exceed 131°F (55°C). Clearance
from the drive to any other surface above and below must be a minimum of
1/16 inch (1.25 mm) to allow airflow.1/16 inch (1.25 mm) to allow airflow.
