16 degrees off horizontal, max.

Ummmm... sort of.

The actual allowable tolerance is 8 degrees off horizontal, if I remember correctly, but the drives are already internally tilted at 8 degrees when the unit sits horizontally. If you angle it so the face points eight degrees upwards, then the drives will be at 0 degrees, and similarly you can angle the face upwards at a 16 degree angle, and the drives will be at their maximum permitted angle.

However, if you angle the the unit so the face points down, even a one degree angle would put you outside the proper range.

In other words, you can angle the face 16 degrees upwards, but no degrees down.
