Connecting to the PC using RS-232
• Locate your computer within 8 feet of the drive.
• If you have a CANopen drive, you still need to connect to the RS232 port on your PC to congure the
drive and download Q Programs, if necessary. Once conguration is complete, refer to the CANopen Manual
for information on using your CANopen drive.
• If you have an Ethernet drive, this port is not used. All communcation uses the RJ45 Ethernet connector
• RS-232 drives are shipped with a communication cable. Plug the large end into the serial port of your PC
and the small end into the PC/MMI jack on your drive. Secure the cable to the PC with the screws on the
sides.
Never connect a drive to a telephone circuit. It uses the same connectors and cords as
telephones and modems, but the voltages are not compatible.
If your PC does not have a serial port, you should purchase a “USB Serial Converter”. We have had good
results with the USB-COM-CBL from byterunner.com. If you wish to use a different converter, it is recommended to use one that makes use of the FTDI chipset to perform the actual conversion.

Connecting the Drive to Your PC using Ethernet
This process requires three steps
• Physically connect the drive to your network (or directly to the PC)
• Set the drive’s IP address
• Set the appropriate networking properties on your PC.
Note: the following pages are an excerpt from the “eSCL Communication Reference Guide”. For more
information, please read the rest of the guide.
Addresses, Subnets, and Ports
Every device on an Ethernet network must have a unique IP address. In order for two devices to communicate with each other, they must both be connected to the network and they must have IP addresses that are
on the same subnet. A subnet is a logical division of a larger network. Members of one subnet are generally not able to communicate with members of another unless they are connected through special network
equipment (e.g. router). Subnets are defined by the choices of IP addresses and subnet masks.
If you want to know the IP address and subnet mask of your PC, select Start…All Programs…Accessories…Command Prompt. Then type “ipconfig” and press Enter. You should see something like this:
4/21/11
If your PC’s subnet mask is set to 255.255.255.0, a common setting known as a Class C subnet mask, then
your machine can only talk to another network device whose IP address matches yours in the first three
octets. (The numbers between the dots in an IP address are called octets.) For example, if your PC is on a
Class C subnet and has an IP address of 192.168.0.20, it can talk to a device at 192.168.0.40, but not one at
192.168.1.40. If you change your subnet mask to 255.255.0.0 (Class B) you can talk to any device whose
first two octets match yours. Be sure to ask your system administrator before doing this. You network may
be segmented for a reason.
Your drive includes a 16 position rotary switch for setting its IP address. The factory default address for
each switch setting is shown in the table on the next page.
Settings 1 through E can be changed using the ST Congurator software (use Quick Tuner for servo drives).
Setting 0 is always “10.10.10.10”, the universal recovery address. If someone were to change the other
settings and not write it down or tell anyone (I’m not naming names here, but you know who I’m talking
about) then you will not be able to communicate with your drive. The only way to “recover” it is to use the
universal recovery address.
Setting F is “DHCP”, which commands the drive to get an IP address from a DHCP server on the network.
The IP address automatically assigned by the DHCP server may be “dynamic” or “static” depending on how
the administrator has configured DHCP. The DHCP setting is reserved for advanced users.
Your PC, or any other device that you use to communicate with the drive, will also have a unique address.
On the drive, switch settings 1 through E use the standard class B subnet mask (i.e. “255.255.0.0”). The
mask for the universal recovery address is the standard class A (i.e. “255.0.0.0”).
One of the great features of Ethernet is the ability for many applications to share the network at the same
10
Page 11
920-0004 Rev. C
ST5/10-Si,-Q,-C, IP Hardware manual
time. Ports are used to direct traffic to the right application once it gets to the right IP address. The UDP
eSCL port in our drives is 7775. To send and receive commands using TCP, use port number 7776. You’ll
need to know this when you begin to write your own application. You will also need to choose an open
(unused) port number for your application. Our drive doesn’t care what that is; when the first command is
sent to the drive, the drive will make note of the IP address and port number from which it originated and
direct any responses there. The drive will also refuse any traffic from other IP addresses that is headed for
the eSCL port. The first application to talk to a drive “owns” the drive. This lock is only reset when the drive
powers down.
If you need help choosing a port number for your application, you can find a list of commonly used port
numbers at http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers.
One final note: Ethernet communication can use one or both of two “transport protocols”: UDP and TCP.
eSCL commands can be sent and received using either protocol. UDP is simpler and more efficient than
TCP, but TCP is more reliable on large or very busy networks where UDP packets might occasionally be
dropped.

Option 1: Connect a Drive to Your Local Area Network
If you have a spare port on a switch or router and if you are able to set your drive to an IP address that is
compatible with your network, and not used by anything else, this is a simple way to get connected. This
technique also allows you to connect multiple drives to your PC. If you are on a corporate network, please
PC NIC
SWITCH
LAN DRIVE
check with your system administrator before connecting anything new to the network. He or she should be
able assign you a suitable address and help you get going.
If you are not sure which addresses are already used on your network, you can find out using “Angry IP
scanner”, which can be downloaded free from http://www.angryip.org/w/Download. But be careful: an
address might appear to be unused because a computer or other device is currently turned off. And many
networks use dynamic addressing where a DHCP server assigns addresses “on demand”. The address you
choose for your drive might get assigned to something else by the DHCP server at another time.

Once you’ve chosen an appropriate IP address for your drive, set the rotary switch according the address
table above. If none of the default addresses are acceptable for your network, you can enter a new table of IP
addresses using Configurator. If your network uses addresses starting with 192.168.0, the most common
subnet, you will want to choose an address from switch settings 4 through E. Another common subnet is
192.168.1. If your network uses addresses in this range, the compatible default selections are 1, 2 and 3.
If your PC address is not in one of the above private subnets, you will have to change your subnet mask to
255.255.0.0 in order to talk to your drive. To change your subnet mask:
ST5/10-Si,-Q,-C, -IP Hardware manual
1. On Windows XP, right click on “My Network Places” and select properties. On Windows 7, click
Computer. Scroll down the left pane until you see “Network”. Right click and select properties. Select
“Change adapter settings”
2. You should see an icon for your network interface card (NIC). Right click and select properties.
3. Scroll down until you see “Internet Properties (TCP/IP)”. Select this item and click the Properties button. On Windows 7 and Vista, look for “(TCP/IPv4)”
4. If the option “Obtain an IP address automatically” is selected, your PC is getting an IP address and a
subnet mask from the DHCP server. Please cancel this dialog and proceed to the next section of this

ST5/10-Si,-Q,-C, IP Hardware manual
manual: “Using DHCP”.
5. If the option “Use the following IP address” is selected, life is good. Change the subnet mask to
“255.255.0.0” and click OK.
4/21/11
Using DCHP
If you want to use your drive on a network that where all or most of the devices use dynamic IP addresses
supplied by a DHCP server, set the rotary switch to “F”. When the drive is connected to the network and
powered on, it will obtain an IP address and a subnet mask from the server that is compatible with your PC.
The only catch is that you won’t know what address the server assigns to your drive. Ethernet Configurator
can find your drive using the Drive Discovery feature, as long as your network isn’t too large. With the drive
connected to the network and powered on, select Drive Discovery from the Drive menu.
You will see a dialog such as this:
Normally, Drive Discovery will only detect one network interface card (NIC), and will select it automatically.
If you are using a laptop and have both wireless and wired network connections, a second NIC may appear.
Please select the NIC that you use to connect to the network to which you’ve connected your drive. Then
click OK. Drive Discovery will notify you as soon as it has detected a drive.
If you think this is the correct drive, click Yes. If you’re not sure, click Not Sure and Drive Discovery will
look for additional drives on you network. Once you’ve told Drive Discovery which drive is yours, it will
automatically enter that drive’s IP address in the IP address text box so that you are ready to communicate.

Option 2: Connect a Drive Directly to Your PC
It doesn’t get much simpler than this:
1. Connect one end of a CAT5 Ethernet cable into the LAN card (NIC) on your PC and the other into the
drive. You don’t need a special “crossover cable”; the drive will automatically detect the direct connection and make the necessary physical layer changes.
2. Set the IP address on the drive to “10.10.10.10” by setting the rotary switch at “0”.
3. To set the IP address of your PC:
a. On Windows XP, right click on “My Network Places” and select properties.
b. On Windows 7, click Computer. Scroll down the left pane until you see “Network”. Right click and
4. You should see an icon for your network interface card (NIC). Right click and select properties.
a. Scroll down until you see “Internet Properties (TCP/IP)”. Select this item and click the Properties
button.
b. On Windows 7 and Vista, look for “(TCP/IPv4)”
5. Select the option “Use the following IP address”. Then enter the address “10.10.10.11”. This will give
your PC an IP address that is on the same subnet as the drive. Windows will know to direct any traffic
intended for the drive’s IP address to this interface card.
6. Next, enter the subnet mask as “255.255.255.0”.
7. Be sure to leave “Default gateway” blank. This will prevent your PC from looking for a router on this
subnet.
8. Because you are connected directly to the drive, anytime the drive is not powered on your PC will annoy
you with a small message bubble in the corner of your screen saying “The network cable is unplugged.”

Option 3: Use Two Network Interface Cards (NICs)
This technique allows you to keep your PC connected to your LAN, but keeps the drive off the LAN, prevent-
ing possible IP conicts or excessive trafc.
1. If you use a desktop PC and have a spare card slot, install a second NIC and connect it directly to the
drive using a CAT5 cable. You don’t need a special “crossover cable”; the drive will automatically
detect the direct connection and make the necessary physical layer changes.
2. If you use a laptop and only connect to your LAN using wireless networking, you can use the built-in
RJ45 Ethernet connection as your second NIC.
3. Set the IP address on the drive to “10.10.10.10” by setting the rotary switch at “0”.
4. To set the IP address of the second NIC:
a. On Windows XP, right click on “My Network Places” and select properties.
b. On Windows 7, click Computer. Scroll down the left pane until you see “Network”. Right click and
5. You should see an icon for your newly instated NIC. Right click again and select properties.
a. Scroll down until you see “Internet Properties (TCP/IP)”. Select this item and click the Properties
button.
b. On Windows 7 and Vista, look for “(TCP/IPv4)”
6. Select the option “Use the following IP address”. Then enter the address “10.10.10.11”. This will give
your PC an IP address that is on the same subnet as the drive. Windows will know to direct any traffic
intended for the drive’s IP address to this interface card.
7. Next, enter the subnet mask as “255.255.255.0”. Be sure to leave “Default gateway” blank. This will
prevent your PC from looking for a router on this subnet.
8. Because you are connected directly to the drive, anytime the drive is not powered on your PC will annoy
you with a small message bubble in the corner of your screen saying “The network cable is unplugged.”

Connecting to a host using RS-485 option card
RS-485 allows you to connect more than one drive to a single host PC, PLC, HMI or other
computer. It also allows the communication cable to be long (more than 1000 feet). But
the device to which you connect must have an RS-485 port.
Pin diagram is shown to the right. Wiring diagrams can be found on the next page. We
recommend the use of Category 5 cable. It is widely used for computer networks, it is
inexpensive, easy to get and certified for quality and data integrity.
The ST drives can be used with either two wire or four wire RS-485 implementations. The connection can
be point to point (i.e. one drive and one host) or a multi-drop network (one host and up to 32 drives).
Four Wire Systems utilize separate transmit and receive wires. One pair of wires must connect the host
computer’s transmit signals to each drive’s RX+ and RX- terminals. Another pair connects the TX+ and TX-
drive terminals to the host computer’s receive signals. A logic ground terminal is provided on each drive
and can be used to keep all drives at the same ground potential. This terminal connects internally to the DC
power supply return (V-), so if all the drives on the RS-485 network are powered from the same supply it is
not necessary to connect the logic grounds. You should still connect one drive’s GND terminal to the host
computer ground.
Four wire systems are better than two wire types because the host can send and receive data at the same
time, increasing system throughput. Furthermore, the host never needs to disable its transmitter, which
simplifies your software.

Two Wire Systems transmit and receive on the same pair of wires, which can lead to trouble. The host must
not only disable its transmitter before it can receive data, it must do so quickly, before a drive begins to
answer a query. The ST drives include a “transmit delay” parameter that can be adjusted to compensate for
a host that is slow to disable its transmitter. This adjustment can be made over the network using the TD
command, or it can be set using the ST Configurator software. It is not necessary to set the transmit delay
in a four wire system.

RS-232 to RS-485 2-wire Converter
Model 485-25E from Integrity Instruments (800-450-2001) works well for converting your PC’s RS-232 port
to RS-485. It comes with everything you need. Connect the adaptor’s “B” pin to the ST drive’s TX+ and RX+ terminals. Connect “A” to the drive’s TX- and RX- terminals.
RS-485 Two Wire System
Converting USB to RS-485
The USB-COMi-M from www.byterunner.com is an excellent choice for USB to RS-485 conversion. Set
SW1 to ON and SW2-4 to OFF. On the USB-COMi-M screw terminal connector: pin1 goes to RX- and TX-.
Connect pin 2 to RX+ and TX+. Pin 6 is ground. The DB-9 is not used.
Assigning Multi-Drop Addresses
Before wiring all of the drives in a multi-drop network, you’ll need to connect each drive individually to the
host computer so that a unique address can be assigned to each drive. Use the programming cable and the
ST Configurator™ software that came with your drive for this purpose.
Connect the drive to your PC, then launch the ST Configurator™ software. Finally, apply power to your
drive. If you have already configured your drive, then you should click the Upload button so that the ST Configurator™ settings match those of your drive. Click on the Motion button, then select the “SCL”
operating mode. If you have a Q drive, you may want to select “Q Programming”. Either way, you’ll see the

RS-485 Address panel appear. Just click on the address character of your choice. You can use the numerals 0..9 or the special characters ! “ # $ % & ‘ ( ) * + , - . / : ; < = > ? @ . Just make sure that each drive
on your network has a unique address. If you are using a 2 wire network, you may need to set the Transmit
Delay, too. 10 milliseconds works on the adapters we’ve tried. Once you’ve made your choices, click Download to save the settings to your drive.
4/21/11
Assigning CANopen Addresses
Each node on a CANopen system must have a unique Node ID. Valid ranges for the Node ID are 0x01
through 0x7F. Node ID 0x00 is reserved in accordance with DS301. The Node ID is selected using two rotary
switches; one sixteen position switch and one eight position switch. The sixteen position switch is located
just to the left of the CANopen connector. The eight position switch is located inside the drive, and may only
be accessed by removing the cover of the drive. It is recommended that the internal switch be left at the factory default setting “0”. However, if additional Node IDs are required, it is possible to access them using the
internal switch.
The Node ID is a concatenation of the two switch values. To set the Node ID to 0x3B, for example, turn the
internal eight position switch to the value “3”, and the sixteen position switch to the value “B”.
Please refer to the CANopen manual for more information.

Connecting the Power Supply
If you need information about choosing a power supply, please read Choosing a Power Supply located
elsewhere in this manual.
Connect the motor power supply “+” terminal to the driver terminal labeled “V+”. Connect power supply
“-” to the drive terminal labeled “V
connects to the power supply + terminal. This fuse is not user replaceable. If you want to install a user
servicable fuse in your system install a fast acting fuse in line with the + power supply lead. Use a 4 amp
fuse for the ST5 drives and 7 amps for the ST10.
The green ground screw on the corner of the chassis should be connected to earth ground.
Be careful not to reverse the wires. Reverse connection will destroy your driver, void your
warranty and generally wreck your day.
If you plan to use a regulated power supply you may encounter a problem with regeneration. If you rapidly
decelerate a load from a high speed, much of the kinetic energy of that load is transferred back to the power
supply. This can trip the overvoltage protection of a switching power supply, causing it to shut down. We
offer the RC050 “regeneration clamp” to solve this problem. If in doubt, buy an RC050 for your first instal-
lation. If the “regen” LED on the RC050 never ashes, you don’t need the clamp.

Connecting the Motor
Never connect or disconnect the motor while the power is on.
Four lead motors can only be connected one way. Please follow
the sketch at the right.
Six lead motors can be connected in series or center tap. In
series mode, motors produce more torque at low speeds, but
cannot run as fast as in the center tap configuration. In series operation, the motor should be operated at 30% less than the rated
current to prevent overheating. Winding diagrams for both connection methods are shown below. NC means not connected.
920-0004 Rev. C
4/21/11
Eight lead motors can also be connected in two ways: series and parallel. As with six lead motors, series
operation gives you less torque at high speeds, but may result in lower motor losses and less heating. In
series operation, the motor should be operated at 30% less than the unipolar rated current. The motors
recommended in this manual should be connected in parallel. The wiring diagrams for eight lead motors are
shown on following page.

Connecting Input Signals
The ST drives have three types of inputs:
• high speed digital inputs for step & direction commands or encoder following, 5 volt logic
• digital inputs for other signals, 12 - 24 volt logic
• analog inputs for analog speed and positioning modes
All drives include eight digital inputs and two analog inputs.
• CW & CCW Limit: can be used to inhibit motion in a given direction, forcing the motor and load to travel
within mechanical limits. Can be configured for active closed, active open or not used.
• IN1/STEP & IN2/DIR: digital signals for commanding position. Quadrature signals from encoders can
also be used. These inputs can also be connected to sensors, switches and other devices for use with Q and
Si™ commands such as Wait Input, Seek Home, Feed to Sensor, If Input and others.
• IN3,4,5,6: software programmable inputs can be used for motor enable, alarm reset or jogging. These inputs can also be connected to sensors, switches and other devices for use with Q and Si™ Wait Input, Seek
Home, Feed to Sensor, If Input and other commands.
• Analog In: analog velocity or position command signal. Can be congured for 0-10V
with or without offset.

High Speed Digital Inputs
The ST Series drives include two high speed inputs called STEP and DIR. They accept 5 volt single-ended
or differential signals, up to 2 MHz. Normally these inputs connect to an external controller that provides
step & direction command signals. You can also connect a master encoder to the high speed inputs for following applications. Or you can use these inputs with Wait Input, If Input, Feed to Sensor, Seek Home and
other such commands.
Connection diagrams follow.

Wiring for Encoder Following
Using High Speed Inputs with 12-24 Volt Signals
Most PLCs don’t use 5 volt logic. You can connect signal levels as high as 24 volts to the STEP and DIR
inputs if you add external dropping resistors, as shown below.
• For 12 volt logic, add 820 ohm, 1/4 watt resistors
• For 24 volt logic, use 2200 ohm, 1/4 watt resistors
4/21/11
The maximum voltage that can be applied to an input terminal is 24 volts DC.
Never apply AC voltage to an input terminal.

Other Digital Inputs
As we mentioned in the previous section, the high
speed STEP and DIR inputs are configured for five volt
logic. All other digital inputs are designed for operation
between 12 and 24 volts DC.
Single Ended Inputs
The ST drives include four single ended, optically isolated input circuits that can be used with
sourcing or sinking signals, 12 to 24 volts. This
allows connection to PLCs, sensors, relays and
mechanical switches. Because the input circuits
are isolated, they require a source of power. If you
are connecting to a PLC, you should be able to get
power from the PLC power supply. If you are using
relays or mechanical switches, you will need a 1224 V power supply. This also applies if you are connecting the inputs to the programmable outputs
of an Si product from Applied Motion.
What is COM?
“Common” is an electronics term for an electrical connection to a common voltage. Sometimes
“common” means the same thing as “ground”, but not always. In the case of the ST drives, if you
are using sourcing (PNP) input signals, then you will want to connect COM to ground (power sup-
ply -). If you are using sinking (NPN) signals, then COM must connect to power supply +.
Note: If current is flowing into or out of an input, the logic state of that input is low or closed. If no
current is flowing, or the input is not connected, the logic state is high or open.
The diagrams on the following pages show how to connect the inputs to various commonly used
devices.

Connecting Limit Switches
The CWLIMIT and CCWLIMIT inputs are used for connecting end of travel sensors. These inputs
are differential, which allows you to use signals that are sinking (NPN), sourcing (PNP) or differential (line driver). By connecting switches or sensors that are triggered by the motion of the motor
or load, you can force the motor to operate within certain limits. This is useful if a program or
operator error could cause damage to your system by traveling too far.
The limit inputs are optically isolated. This allows you to choose a voltage for your limit circuits of
12 to 24 volts DC. This also allows you to have long wires on limit sensors that may be far from
the drive with less risk of introducing noise to the drive electronics. The schematic diagram of the
limit switch input circuit is shown below.

Wiring a Mechanical Limit Switch
You can use normally open or normally closed limit switches. Either way, wire them as shown
here. Be sure to set the polarity using the Si Programmer™ for Si™ drives or the ST Configurator™
software for the ST5-Q, ST10-Q, ST5-C and ST10-C.
Wiring a Limit Sensor
Some systems use active limit sensors that produce a voltage output rather than a switch or relay
closure. These devices must be wired differently than switches.
If your sensor has an open collector output or a sinking output, wire it like this:
If the sensor output goes low at the limit, select the option “closed” (in the software). If the output
is open, or high voltage, choose “open”.
Other sensors have sourcing outputs. That means that current can ow out of the sensor output,
but not into it. In that case, wire the sensor this way:

Analog Inputs
The ST drives feature two analog inputs. Each input can accept
a signal range of 0 to 5 VDC, ±5 VDC, 0 to 10 VDC or ±10 VDC.
The drive can be configured to operate at a speed or position
that is proportional to the analog signal.
A shielded cable is recommended for electrically noisy
environments.
Use the ST Configurator software to set the signal range, offset,
deadband and filter frequency.

Programmable Outputs
The ST drives feature four digital outputs. These outputs can
be set to automically control a motor brake, to signal a fault
condition, to indicate when the motor is moving or to provide
an output frequency proportional to motor speed (tach signal).
Or the outputs can be turned on and off by program instructions
like Set Output.
The outputs can be used to drive LEDs, relays and the inputs
of other electronic devices like PLCs and counters. For Y4, the
“+” (collector) and “-” (emitter) terminals of each transistor are
available at the connector. This allows you to configure this
output for current sourcing or sinking. The Y1-3 outputs can
only sink current. The Y COM terminal must be tied to power supply (-).
Diagrams of each type of connection follow.
Do not connect the outputs to more than 30VDC.
The current through each output terminal must not exceed 100 mA.

Choosing a Power Supply
When choosing a power supply, there are many things to consider. If you are manufacturing equipment that
will be sold to others, you probably want a supply with all the safety agency approvals. If size and weight
are an issue use a switching supply.
You must also decide what size of power supply (in terms of voltage and current) is needed for your application.
Voltage
PWM drives work by switching the voltage to the motor terminals on and off while monitoring current to
achieve a precise level of phase current. To do this efficiently and silently, you’ll want to have a power
supply with a voltage rating at least five times that of the motor. Depending on how fast you want to run the
motor, you may need even more voltage than that.
If you choose an unregulated power supply, make sure the no load voltage of the supply does not exceed the
drive’s maximum input voltage specification.
Current
The maximum supply current you could ever need is the sum of the two phase currents. However, you will
generally need a lot less than that, depending on the motor type, voltage, speed and load conditions. That’s
because the ST drives use switching amplifiers, converting a high voltage and low current into lower voltage
and higher current. The more the power supply voltage exceeds the motor voltage, the less current you’ll
need from the power supply. A motor running from a 48 volt supply can be expected to draw only half the
supply current that it would with a 24 volt supply.
We recommend the following selection procedure:
1. If you plan to use only a few drives, get a power supply with at least twice the rated phase current of
the motor.
2. If you are designing for mass production and must minimize cost, get one power supply with more
than twice the rated current of the motor. Install the motor in the application and monitor the current
coming out of the power supply and into the drive at various motor loads. This will tell you how much
current you really need so you can design in a lower cost power supply.

Motor Heating
Step motors convert electrical power from the driver into mechanical power to move a load. Because step
motors are not perfectly efficient, some of the electrical power turns into heat on its way through the motor.
This heating is not so much dependent on the load being driven but rather the motor speed and power supply voltage. There are certain combinations of speed and voltage at which a motor cannot be continuously
operated without damage.
We have characterized the recommended motors in our lab and provided curves showing the maximum duty
cycle versus speed for each motor at commonly used power supply voltages. Please refer to these curves
when planning your application.
Please also keep in mind that a step motor typically reaches maximum temperature after 30 to 45 minutes
of operation. If you run the motor for one minute then let it sit idle for one minute, that is a 50% duty cycle.
Five minutes on and five minutes off is also 50% duty. However, one hour on and one hour off has the effect
of 100% duty because during the first hour the motor will reach full (and possibly excessive) temperature.
The actual temperature of the motor depends on how much heat is conducted, convected or radiated out of
it. Our measurements were made in a 40°C (104°F) environment with the motor mounted to an aluminum
plate sized to provide a surface area consistent with the motor power dissipation. Your results may vary.

Mounting the Drive
You can mount your drive on the wide or the narrow side of the chassis using #6 screws. If possible, the
drive should be securely fastened to a smooth, at metal surface that will help conduct heat away from the
chassis. If this is not possible, then forced airow from a fan may be required to prevent the drive from
overheating.
• Never use your drive in a space where there is no air flow or where other devices cause
the surrounding air to be more than 40°C.
• Never put the drive where it can get wet or where metal or other electrically conductive
particles can get on the circuitry.
• Always provide air flow around the drive. When mouting multiple ST drives near each
other, maintain at least one half inch of space between drives.
