ABSTRACT:
A method and combination for mitigating turbulent air flow across an actuator of a data storage device. The combination includes a base deck having a retention cam surface adjacent a mounting pin, and an air diverter having a mounting aperture and a spring portion with a cam follower. The air diverter is confined adjacent the base deck in an operating position by executing the steps of the method to form the combination.The method includes the steps of, providing the base deck, disposing the air diverter onto the mounting pin, attaching a spindle motor with a disc to the base deck, securing an actuator supporting a read/write head to the base deck and affixing a top cover to the base deck, which places the air diverter under a compressive load between the top cover and the base deck thereby fixing the air diverter in the operating position.
