8.2 Cooling
The host enclosure must dissipate heat 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 Section 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.

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.
