    X200 mounted horizontally and ambient temperature measured 15cms above the centre of X200. If the X200 is to be mounted in an enclosure is important that the internal temperature inside the enclosure does not exceed the specification above and any new enclosure design should be tested.

  • Page 6: Shock And Vibration

    Shock and Vibration Due to the nature of hard disk drives it is essential that the X200 is isolated from vibration and shock as much as possible. Consideration should be paid to the mounting position so that the levels of shock and vibration that may be encountered are minimized.

  • Page 16 Cable Installation Please note that when installing cables to the rear of the X200 it is important not to arrange or clamp them in such a way as to impede the free movement of the rear anti- vibration mounts. Installation Procedure It is advised that some form of thread-lock compound should be used on the screws securing the wire rope mounts to both the X200 and mounting surface.
  • Page 17 This is strongly advised for maximum vibration and shock isolation. If it is not possible to mount the X200 in the horizontal orientation then the following vertical orientation may be used. It must be noted however that this vertical orientation is not as effective at isolating the X200 from vibration and shock as the horizontal orientation.
