Abstract: A routing table stores therein an upper unit for 60 G wireless, a lower unit for 60 G wireless, a left unit for 60 G wireless, a right unit for 60 G wireless, or a WLAN unit as a routing destination based on a direction from its own node to a destination node and a distance therebetween. A routing unit routes a packet to the upper unit for 60 G wireless, the lower unit for 60 G wireless, the left unit for 60 G wireless, the right unit for 60 G wireless, or the WLAN unit based on the routing destination retrieved from the routing table through table retrieval.

Abstract: A node address table (NAT) stores therein a MAC address and a node ID (NID) representing the position of a node in a rack in association with each other for each node, and retrieves NIDs of a destination and its own node based on a destination of a packet and the MAC address of the own node. A destination determination unit determines a routing destination of the packet based on the NIDs of the destination and the own node. A routing unit routes the packet to the routing destination determined by the destination determination unit.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention help to detect contact between a head and a magnetic disk more accurately in specifying a heater power value for adjusting a clearance between a head element portion and the disk. According to one embodiment, a hard disk controller/multiprocessing unit (HDC/MPU) measures amplitudes of read signals in a user data field DATA. A hard disk drive (HDD) fills a gap between servo data with single data sector. The HDC/MPU measures the amplitudes of read signals in each data sector at different heater power values. It determines the heater power value at which contact occurs from the measured values.

Abstract: Embodiments in accordance with the present invention provide a magnetic disk drive capable of achieving error recovery stably in a simple configuration in the event of thermal asperity (TA) and minimizing the error recovery time required, and a method for controlling the disk drive. According to one embodiment, if TA occurs, a cutoff frequency of a high-pass filter to which a data read signal is input is first increased and a loop gain of a low-order finite impulse response (FIR) filter connected in series to an FIR filter is also increased as high as possible. Next, a Viterbi decoder to which a signal is input from the low-order FIR filter provides feedback to the low-order FIR filter so that an input signal error becomes a minimum. Tap coefficients of the low-order FIR filter are thus optimized.
