Fireball SE Mounting Guidelines

Mounting
The mounting holes on the Quantum Fireball SE hard disk drive allow the drive to be mounted in any orientation.
Figure 1-1 identifies the location of the three mounting holes found on each side of the drive and the four mounting
holes found on the PCB side of the drive. Dimensions given are in millimeters.

Mounting Screw Clearance
Please note that the printed-circuit board assembly (PCBA) is very close to the mounting holes. For mounting #6­32 UNC screws are recommended. Mounting screws should be no longer than 0.25 inches (6.35 mm) and
maximum torque applied to the screws must not exceed 8 inch-pounds. Clearance from the drive to any other
surface (except mounting surfaces) must be a minimum of 0.05 inches (1.25 mm).

Ventilation
The Quantum Fireball SE hard disk drive operates without a cooling fan, provided the ambient air temperature does
not exceed 131°F (55°C). Clearance from the drive to any other surface above and below must be a minimum of
1/16 inch (1.25 mm) to allow airflow.
