The present invention provides a configuration of a hard drive enclosure
system and method for manufacture in which a polymer including
electromagnetic interference shielding (EMI shielding) properties is
configured such that shielding gaskets may be reduced or eliminated
completely. Patterned honeycomb "tubes" are molded into the front wall of
the front panel providing access to the interior of the front plate, and
allowing ventilation. Other EMI shielding cuts may be molded or stamped
into the sides of the disk-drive enclosure and raised tab structures
allow the enclosure to be placed in an array. The container is generally
stamped, molded or extruded from Premier.RTM. or another EMI-shielding
polymer material that provides sufficient EMI shielding.
