Abstract
A disk drive having a mechanism for securing a suspension arm adjacent to the inner diameter region of a disk is described. The securing mechanism engages the suspension arm adjacent the inner diameter region of the disk during load/unload operations. The securing mechanism may be mounted in the drive chassis underneath a subsequently mounted disk. Prior to the mounting of the securing mechanism, a suspension arm may be mounted into the chassis. The securing mechanism is stacked on top of the chassis to engage the suspension arm without the need for lateral adjustment of the suspension arm. The disk may then be mounted into the chassis with the suspension arm pre-unloaded on the securing mechanism.
