Problems solved by technology

First, the construction of the carrier means that the carrier is specific to a particular type or model of disk drive unit, so the carrier cannot be used with a disk drive unit with a different connectivity or configuration
Second, in the case of failure of the carrier itself, the entire carrier must be removed for repair or replacement
Third, the carrier is specifically adapted to accommodate only one disk drive unit at a time, which means that test equipment for many disk drive units may be undesirably large

Embodiment Construction

[0062] Referring to Figure 1, a mounting device 1 for a disk drive unit has a first module 2, which is fastened to a second module 3, the two modules 2, 3 being fastened end-to-end. Each of the modules 2, 3 is a box-like structure and is generally rectangular in cross-section. The first module 2 is a temperature control module 2 and the second module is a carrier module 3, in this example for two disk drive units 102, 202 carried in disk drive unit supports 203, 204 (see Fig. 2). The carrier module 3 has an air input port 130 (see FIG. 5 ) at the end engaging the temperature control module 2 and includes walls 138-145 (see FIG. 8 ) which form baffles defining air flow passages for Air from the input port 130 is directed over the disk drive units 102, 202 provided in the carrier module. The temperature control module 2 includes an air control device, in this example a centrifugal fan 105 (see FIG. 3 ) and a mode controller 260 (see FIG. 4 ); and has an air output port 9 . The...

Abstract

The disk drive unit mounting device (1) is adapted to carry one or more disk drive units (102, 202). The mounting device (1) comprises a temperature control module (2) and a carrier module (3), fastened together by releasable fastener means for the temperature control module to control the temperature of the disk drive unit (102, 202). The temperature control module has an air flow control device (105, 260) for appropriately controlling the air flow over the disk drive unit (102, 202) according to the temperature required by the disk drive unit (102, 202). The mounting device may be used in the course of testing a disk drive unit.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a mounting device for a disc drive unit, a releasable fastener and a method of testing a disc drive unit. Background technique [0002] During the manufacture of disk drive units, it is necessary to test the disk drive units to ensure that they meet the required specifications. As part of the testing work, it is necessary to control the temperature of the disk drive unit. During the test, the temperature of the disk drive unit was varied over a wide range. In many known test apparatuses, the temperature of multiple disk drive units is controlled by using cooling or heating air common to all disk drive units. [0003] In our WO-A-01 / 41148, the entire content of which is hereby incorporated by reference, a carrier for a disk drive unit is disclosed which enables the temperature of the disk drive unit to be controlled during a test or Controlled during normal operation, the temperature control device passes air at the d...
