Mechanical Mounting The iPOS4803P Microdrive is intended to be mounted horizontally on a motherboard equipped with the recommended mating connectors, as specified in chapter 3.3.2.1. Motherboard PCB Design. Several drives can be hosted by a single motherboard. The iPOS4803S Microdrive is intended to be mounted vertically or horizontally on a metallic support using the provided mounting holes and the recommended mating connectors.
The iPOS4803P Microdrive is intended to be mounted on a mainboard. The recommended method of electrical connection is to use sockets on the mainboard. It is also possible to directly solder the iPOS4803P Microdrive module into the mainboard. To secure the module to the mainboard, it is recommended to have the mainboard equipped with 3 self-clinching nut inserts, with internal thread M2.
It is recommended to use the same guarding precaution also for tracks on nearby layers, i.e. use intermediate guard layer(s) connected to ground. The motor outputs must be treated as first source of noise on the motherboard. Second source of noise is the current flow between each iPOS4803P Microdrive and it’s decoupling V capacitor.
