A method of aligning a surgical instrument with the instrument sterile adapter for coupling the surgical instrument and an instrument carriage includes inserting the instrument shaft of the surgical instrument into an entry guide held in a fixed relation to the instrument carriage and the instrument sterile adapter, insertion of the instrument shaft into the entry guide constraining the surgical instrument to rotation around a first cylindrical axis of the instrument shaft and axial translation along the first cylindrical axis of the instrument shaft. The method further includes passing the instrument shaft of the surgical instrument through the shaft receiving slot of the instrument sterile adapter.
