Servo Control
The actuator motor and the spindle motor are submitted to servo control. The actuator motor is
controlled for moving and positioning the head to the track containing the desired data. To turn
the disk at a constant velocity, the actuator motor is controlled according to the servo data that is
written on the data side beforehand.

Microprocessor unit (MPU)
The MPU includes DSP unit, etc., and the MPU starts the spindle motor, moves the heads to the
reference cylinders, seeks the specified cylinder, and executes calibration according to the internal
operations of the MPU.
The major internal operations are listed below.
