3. GENERAL DESCRIPTION 
The 
MK1032GAX
 which is noted hereinafter as 
 
MK1032GAX
 or as 
 the drive 
 comprises a 
series of intelligent disk drives . 
The drive features an ATA-2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 interface embedded controller that requires a simplified adapter 
board for interfacing to an AT or AT compatible bus. The drives employ Winchester technology and a closed 
loop servo control system which have made high recording density of 129.0 M bit/mm

) and average access time of 12 msec with highest reliability of 300,000 hours for 
MTTF (Mean Time to Failure) possible. 
The drive is distinctive for its small and light body with 9.5mm height and 102 grams of weight. 
The 
MK1032GAX
 consists of an HDA (Head Disk Assembly) and a printed circuit board. The HDA has a 
sealed module which contains a disk spindle assembly, a head actuator assembly and an air filtration 
system. This HDA adopts Winchester technology which enhances high reliability. The actuator is a rotary 
voice coil motor which enables high-speed access. 
The disk is driven directly by a DC spindle motor. Air filtration is provided by a high performance air filtration 
system using both breather and circulation filters. 
The drive provides a carriage lock mechanism which is activated automatically upon power down in order to 
prevent head/media from being damaged when it is not operating or under shipment.   
The printed circuit board which is set externally to the HDA and equipped with all the electric circuitry 
necessary to operate the drive except the head drivers . The power supply and interface signal connectors 
are mounted on the board. Only the head control IC’s are located within the HDA.    The circuitry perform the 
following functions: 
Read/Write, Task File Control, Spindle Motor Control, Seek and Head Positioning Servo Control, Abnormal 
Condition Detection and Shock Sensor Control.
