ABSTRACT:
An extender frame is disposed between the enclosure and the circuit board of a high speed hard disk drive having a 1.0" form factor height, to improve cooling of the disk drive by directing air flow between the enclosure and card. After the extender frame is installed, the profile of the assembly is a 1.6" form factor height. To engage the frame with the drive, the circuit board is unfastened from the enclosure, the extender frame positioned between the card and enclosure, and then relatively longer fasteners are reinstalled through the enclosure, frame, and circuit board to hold the assembly together.
