ABSTRACT:
The invention is a method of assembling an integrated computer by successively placing various components into an open-top weldment or "tub." The assembly method is particularly suited to rapidly and cost-effectively assembling an integrated computer module in an automated, assembly line environment. The preferred method involves providing the open-top tub, depositing a lower shock mount in the tub, depositing a disk drive on the lower shock mount, depositing an upper shock mount onto the disk drive, depositing an intermediate plate onto the upper shock mount, securing the intermediate plate relative to the tub to hold the disk drive within the tub between the upper and lower shock mount, depositing a main PCBA into the tub above the intermediate plate, electrically connecting the main PCBA to the disk drive; locating a module connector at a desired location at the tub's back wall for connection to the host connector upon insertion of the integrated module into the docking bay in the host assembly; and depositing a ceiling wall onto the tub.
