• I dle mode: The drive is powered on, disks spinning, track following, unit is ready to receive and
respond to control line commands.
• Operating mode: Continuous random cylinder selection and seek operation of the actuator with a
dwell time at each cylinder. The seek rate for the drive is calculated with the following formula:
• Dwell time = 0.5 x 60/RPM
• Seek rate = 0.4 / (average seek time + dwell time)
