[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] What is the up side of a hard drive?

This may be a dumb question, but which side is the up side on a hard
drive.  I have a Seagate drive and one side of it has a metal casing
on it and the other has a green circuit board showing.  I'm not sure
which way to install it.  I know it's bad for the hard drive to be 
installed up side down.

Thanks

	I'm not sure that it matters (they can put on edge too), but the circuit board is generally
installed on the down side.
