Apply the thermal compound across the full surface of the application area on the heatsink. Tightly push the
drive against the metal surface (enclosure panel).
Clean off the unwanted thermal compound from around the drive perimeter.

Figure 2.17 Thermal compound application area
Note:
You can mill the metal surface to be more flat and use less thermal compound. Recommended flatness is 0.05 mm (0.00197
in) or less. After you mill the metal surface, tightly push the drive against it.
◆ Derating Depending on Ambient Temperature
When you install drives in an area where ambient temperatures are higher than the rated conditions, set L8-12
[Ambient Temperature Setting] and L8-35 [Installation Method Selection]. Refer to L8-12: Ambient Temperature
Setting on page 342 and L8-35: Installation Method Selection on page 343 for more information.
Derate the output current as specified in Figure 2.18.
