ABSTRACT:
A diaphragm isolator frame for supporting a disk drive in a rack or other enclosure while providing isolation from undesirable vibrations from other disk drives or components mounted in the enclosure or from the environment. The diaphragm isolator frame comprises a pair of side rails having isolators formed of thinned portions of the side rails to form diaphragms, each diaphragm having a centrally located press-pin for supporting the disk drive. The thickness and diameter of the diaphragms may be chosen to provide vibration isolation at a desired frequency.
