  • Electronic apparatus and shockproof method
    Publication number: 20040125490
    Abstract: An agravity sensor is a mechanical switch which is opened in an agravity state. A CPU determines based on the output from this agravity sensor if the self apparatus is falling. If it is determined that the self apparatus is falling, the CPU instructs an IDE interface controller to transmit an unload command for retracting a magnetic head to an HDD. At this time, the CPU uses, as the unload command, a reset signal independent from general commands such as a read signal, write signal, and the like, which are processed by the HDD in the order they are accepted.
