1.15.4.4 Assure Host System & Accessory Certifications
Assure that the host system, any other subassemblies such as board & drive assemblies being
added in, and internal or external wiring, are properly certified for the region(s) the end-product
will be used in. Proof of certification can be determined by the marks on the product. For
example:

Europe

The CE Marking signifies compliance with all relevant EU requirements. If the host system does
not bear the CE Marking, obtain a supplier’s Declaration of Conformity to the appropriate
standards required by the European EMC Directive and Low Voltage Directive. Other Directives,
such as the Machinery and Telecommunications Directives, may also apply depending on the type
of product. No regulatory assessment is necessary for low voltage DC wiring used internally, or
wiring used externally when provided with appropriate overcurrent protection. Appropriate
protection is achieved by max. 8 Amp current limiting circuit or a max. 5 Amp fuse or Positive
Temperature Coefficient Resistor (PTC). All Intel motherboards presently have PTC’s on all
external ports which provide DC power externally.

U.S.

For safety, a certification mark by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) such as
UL, CSA or ETL. External wiring must be UL Listed and suitable for the use. Internal wiring
must be UL Listed or Recognized and rated appropriately for the voltages and temperatures
involved. For electromagnetic interference, the FCC mark: Class A for commercial or industrial
only; or Class B for all applications other than described in Item 1.14.3.3 above.

Canada

For safety, a nationally recognized certification mark such as CSA or cUL. No regulatory
assessment is necessary for low voltage DC wiring used internally, or wiring used externally when
provided with appropriate overcurrent protection. Appropriate protection is achieved by max.
8 Amp current limiting circuit or a max. 5 Amp fuse or Positive Temperature Coefficient Resistor
(PTC). All Intel motherboards presently have PTC’s on all external ports which provide DC power
externally.
1.15.4.5 Installation Precautions
During installation and initial test, use caution to avoid personal injury and damage to wiring due
to sharp pins on connectors and printed circuit assemblies, rough chassis edges and corners, and
hot components. Adhere to warnings and limitations regarding accessibility into areas designated
only for authorized technical personnel.
