8.2.1 J6 connector requirements
Recommended mating connector part number: Berg receptacle, 6-position, Berg part number 690-006.
8.3 Drive orientation
The drive may be mounted in any orientation. All drive performance characterizations, however, have been
done with the drive in horizontal (discs level) and vertical (drive on its side) orientations, which are the two pre-
ferred mounting orientations.
8.4 Cooling
The host enclosure must provide heat removal from the drive. You should confirm that the host enclosure is
designed to ensure that the drive operates within the temperature measurement guidelines described in Sec-
tion 6.4.1. In some cases, forced airflow may be required to keep temperatures at or below the temperatures
specified in Section 6.4.1.
If forced air is necessary, possible air-flow patterns are shown in Figure 10. The air-flow patterns are created
by fans either forcing or drawing air as shown in the illustrations. Conduction, convection, or other forced air-
flow patterns are acceptable as long as the temperature measurement guidelines of Section 6.4.1 are met.
