Power-On
Voltages may be applied in any sequence.
When the dc voltages are
low, as when the power has failed or has just been applied, the power-
on-reset (PaR) circuit resets the major circuits and keeps them reset
until the voltages are high enough and stable.
At initial power-on, the drive is recalibrated: the actuator seeks to
the inner, outer, and middle tracks; at each location, servo-burst
amplitude measurements are made and from these the microprocessor
calculates and stores adaptive gain parameters that are later used to
optimize seek and settle times.
