Claim:
Apparatus for controlling the temperature of a disk drive and being for use during manufacture of the said disk drive, the apparatus comprising: a shelf configured to receive a cell; a cell mounted on the shelf by one or more isolators, the cell having a mounting arrangement to which a disk drive can be mounted and having walls defining a volume in which the disk drive is received when mounted to the mounting arrangement during manufacture of the disk drive, the cell further comprising a void; at least one wall of the cell adjacent said volume being heat conductive and being arranged such that a disk drive when received in the volume does not touch said at least one wall; and, an air-agitating device provided on the shelf, the air agitating device being constructed and arranged to agitate air between said at least one wall and a disk drive when received in the volume to encourage heat transfer between said at least one wall and a disk drive when inserted into the volume; wherein the air-agitating device is arranged in the void but not connected to the cell so as to be vibrationally isolated from said disk drive when mounted in the cell.
