Abstract:
1. A method for manufacturing an information storage device, the method comprising: inserting a damping insert sheet into a generally rectangular bay formed in the information storage device, the generally rectangular bay defined by a base portion and a plurality of side portions, the damping insert sheet comprising a plurality of elastomeric cushions attached to a spanning sheet; bending each of the plurality of elastomeric cushions around edges of a disk drive to form first and second portions of each of the plurality of elastomeric cushions; and placing the disk drive, including a plurality of disk drive sides defining external disk drive corners, into the generally rectangular bay, with the first portions of the plurality of elastomeric cushions disposed between the disk drive and the base portion compressing the first portions using opposing first compressive forces directed from a first disk drive side of the plurality of disk drive sides and the base portion, and compressing the second portions of the plurality of elastomeric cushions disposed between the disk drive and the plurality of side portions using second opposing compressive forces directed from predetermined others of the plurality of disk drive sides and the plurality of side portions, wherein the predetermined others are disposed orthogonal to the first disk drive side.
