Rack Mounting
When installing the eDrive Nitro into an EIA-310D-compliant rack, always install rack
mounting screws into the two bottom holes of the front panel flanges first and then install
screws into the top holes. This will help to minimize any potential damage that might
occur to the eDrive front panel if the driver were to shift during installation.
For the eDrive Nitro, it is recommended that two people install the unit into a rack.
Supporting rails should be used. Lift the driver into place and then fasten the front panel
flanges into place.
WARNING. Using the eDrive Nitro without mounting rails can result in serious damage
to the driver or personal injury.
Clearance
Adequate clearance should be allowed on the front, sides, and rear of the eDrive for
access to connections and components. The front and rear vents of the eDrive must be a
minimum of 24 inches (61 cm) away from walls or vertical surfaces so air flow is not
restricted.
Weight
The total weight of eDrive Nitro for Patara laser is approximately 52 pounds (23.6kgs).

The beam height of the Patara laser is 3 inches.
Mounting requirement
The laser has to be mounted on a flat optical table or equivalent bench. There are three
mounting holes that are 0.28 inches (7.1mm) in diameter. Two mounting holes are
located at the back of the laser head and one at the front. There are holes designed for
0.25 inch dowel pins to confine the position of the laser head. These are on the center line
of the laser head: see Figure 2-2.
Weight
The weight of the laser head is approximately 35 pounds (15.9kgs).
