Mounting The Drive - Seagate MEDALIST 1080SL Product Manual

24 Medalist 1080sl SCSI Product Manual, August 1995
All I/O transactions are complete before you install or remove a drive.
To avoid damage to the disc and head, the spindle must be completely
stopped and the heads must be parked before you remove the drive from
the system. There are two ways to stop the spindle and park the heads:
If the drive is not configured to use the remote start/stop feature,
disconnect the DC power cable from the drive DC power connector
and wait 30 seconds.
If the drive is configured to use the remote start/stop feature, issue the
Start/Stop Unit command and wait 30 seconds.

2.9 Mounting the drive

The ST51080N is a 3.5-inch form-factor drive with a .75-inch height
profile and a 5.0-inch depth profile. You can mount them securely in the
computer using either the bottom or side mounting holes, as described
below. Position the drive so that you do not strain or crimp the cables.
Figure 5 shows the drive's mounting dimensions, including the side and
bottom mounting holes.
Bottom mounting holes. Insert 6-32 UNC-2A mounting screws in the
four available bottom mounting holes. Do not insert the screws more than
0.20 inches (6 turns) into the drive frame.
Side mounting holes. Insert 6-32 UNC-2A mounting screws in four of
the six available side mounting holes. Use two mounting holes on each
side of the drive. Do not insert the screws more than 0.20 inches (6 turns)
into the drive frame.
Caution. To avoid damaging the drive:
Use only mounting screws of the type specified.
Gently tighten the mounting screws—do not apply more than 6 inch-lb
of torque.
