FAQ# DRV-5FLLY9 Published: 11/28/2005

Question:What will happen if there is only .5'' clearance from either top or bottom of the drive to an enclosure?
Answer:There MUST be a minimum of 4.7'' clearance above and below the drive (varies by model) to allow airflow over the heat sink. Otherwise, an OH alarm (cooling fin overheat) may occur. Also, a minimum 1.2'' clearance (varies by model) is required on each side of the drive.
Refer to the appropriate drives instruction manual for the mounting and clearance specifications.
