In general, a test slot is engaged with automated machinery to inhibit movement of the test slot, thereby inhibiting transmission of vibration from the test slot to its surroundings. While the automated machinery is engaged with the test slot, the automated machinery is actuated to insert a storage device into the test slot, or remove the storage device from the test slot.

1. A method comprising: using automated machinery to clamp a test slot to inhibit movement of the test slot relative to a chassis supporting the test slot, the inhibited movement being in the direction used to insert or remove a storage device from the test slot, thereby inhibiting transmission of vibration from the test slot to its surroundings; andwhile the automated machinery is engaged with the test slot, actuating the automated machinery to: insert a storage device into the test slot; orremove the storage device from the test slot. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the automated machinery engages the test slot with one or more actuators. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein the one or more actuators comprise one or more first engaging elements. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein the test slot comprises one or more second engaging elements. 5. The method of claim 4, wherein clamping the test slot comprises: causing the one or more first engaging elements to temporarily connect to the one or more second engaging elements. 6. The method of claim 2, wherein the automated machinery comprises a robot that comprises a manipulator for carrying the storage device. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein the actuators are coupled to the robot and/or the manipulator. 8. The method of claim 3, wherein the one or more first engaging elements comprise an element selected from a group consisting of: a pin, a recess, a slot, a magnet, an adhesive, a clasp, and a hook. 9. The method of claim 3, wherein the one or more of the first engaging elements are adapted to engage the test slot by friction. 10. The method of claim 4, wherein the one or more second engaging elements comprise an element selected from a group consisting of: a pin, a recess, a slot, a magnet, an adhesive, a clasp, and a hook. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein the storage device is carried by a storage device transporter. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein the automated machinery comprises a robot and a manipulator for engaging the storage device transporter; and wherein the actuators are coupled to the robot and/or the manipulator. 13. An apparatus comprising: at least one engaging element configured to clamp a test slot to inhibit movement of the test slot relative to a chassis supporting the test slot, the inhibited movement being in the direction used to insert or remove a storage device from the test slot, thereby inhibiting transmission of vibration from the test slot to its surroundings; andan automated transporter configured to engage the at least one engaging element and, while the at least one engaging element is engaged with the test slot, configured to: insert a storage device into the test slot; orremove the storage device from the test slot;wherein the automated transporter comprises a robot that comprises a manipulator for carrying the storage device; andwherein the at least one engaging element is coupled to the robot and/or the manipulator. 14. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the at least one engaging element is configured to temporarily connect to one or more second engaging elements of the test slot. 15. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein the one or more second engaging elements comprise an element selected from a group consisting of: a pin, a recess, a slot, a magnet, an adhesive, a clasp, and a hook. 16. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the at least one engaging element comprises an element selected from a group consisting of: a pin, a recess, a slot, a magnet, an adhesive, a clasp, and a hook. 17. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the at least one engaging element is adapted to engage the test slot by friction. 18. The apparatus of claim 13 wherein the storage device is carried by the automated transporter.
