Claim:
A load/unload ramp assembly that is interconnectable with a base plate of a disk drive, wherein said load/unload ramp assembly comprises: a ramp body that comprises: a load/unload ramp; and a first base plate attachment cantilever that comprises a first free end and a first fixed end, wherein said first base plate attachment cantilever is configured such that said first free end is separated from an underlying portion of the base plate by a first open space when said load/unload ramp is initially positioned on the base plate, wherein said first base plate attachment cantilever is configured and positioned such that a shaft of a fastener can pass by said first base plate attachment cantilever and into engagement with the base plate, and such that reducing a spacing between a head of the fastener and the base plate causes the head to exert a force on said first base plate attachment cantilever to deflect said first free end of said first base plate attachment cantilever through the first open space, toward the base plate, and at least generally about said first fixed end so as to direct said load/unload ramp assembly into forcible engagement with the base plate.
