A chassis for receiving a plurality of disk drives includes a plurality of
disk drive receiving stations. Each station is configured to carry out
testing and/or servo writing operations on a received disk drive. Each
station includes a base, a nest assembly and a plurality of elastomeric
mounts that elastically couple the nest assembly to the base to enable
movement of the nest assembly relative to the base. The nest assembly
includes a nest configured to receive and mate with the disk drive and a
printed circuit board. Each station includes a separate vibration
isolating mass that is coupled to the nest. The vibration isolating mass
at least partially isolates vibrations originating within the nest from
being transmitted through the elastomeric mounts to other nests in the
chassis and at least partially isolates vibrations originating outside
the nest from being transmitted through the elastomeric mounts to the
nest assembly.
