A system for mounting a hard disk drive inside an electronic apparatus in such a way that the hard disk drive is isolated from vibration and noise and heat generated by the hard disk dive is radiated to a cover of the electronic apparatus to prevent overheating. A foam heat transmission sheet is placed between the hard disk drive cover and an outer casing that is mounted to the electronic apparatus and far-infrared ray transmitting and receiving sheets are attached to the outside of the outer casing and to the inside of the cover of the electronic apparatus to transmit heat from the hard disk drive to the exterior of the apparatus.

Electronic apparatus and hard disk drive housing apparatus

In a hard disk drive (HDD) or an electronic apparatus in which the HDD is wrapped with a foam resin sheet with a noise absorption effect and a metal outer casing to thereby damp noise, a sub-assembly wrapping body incorporating therein the HDD wrapped with a wrapping body composed of a slippery film sheet with foam resin sheets attached thereto is mounted into the metal outer casing through the slippery surface of the slippery film sheet. In order to insulate a noise generated from a recording and reproducing drive apparatus such as the HDD, the system for use with the HDD and the electronic apparatus can simplify the assembly process required when the HDD is loaded into the outer casing serving as a noise insulation box through a noise absorption member.
