CHEETAH 15K.7 FC PRODUCT MANUAL, REV. E 3
2.0 APPLICABLE STANDARDS AND REFERENCE DOCUMENTATION
The drive has been developed as a system peripheral to the highest standards of design and construction. The drive
depends upon its host equipment to provide adequate power and environment in order to achieve optimum performance and
compliance with applicable industry and governmental regulations. Special attention must be given in the areas of safety,
power distribution, shielding, audible noise control, and temperature regulation. In particular, the drive must be securely
mounted in order to guarantee the specified performance characteristics. Mounting by bottom holes must meet the
requirements of Section 10.4.
2.1 STANDARDS
The Cheetah 15K.7 FC family complies with Seagate standards as noted in the appropriate sections of this manual and the
Seagate Fibre Channel Interface Manual, part number 100293070.
The drives are recognized in accordance with UL 60950-1 and CSA 60950-1 as tested by UL and EN60950-1 as tested by
TUV.
The security features of Cheetah 15K.7 FC SED models are based on the “TCG Storage Architecture Core Specification”
and the “TCG Storage Workgroup Security Subsystem Classs: Enterprise_A” specification with additional vendor-unique
features as noted in this product manual.
2.1.1 Electromagnetic compatibility
The drive, as delivered, is designed for system integration and installation into a suitable enclosure prior to use. As such the
drive is supplied as a subassembly and is not subject to Subpart B of Part 15 of the FCC Rules and Regulations nor the
Radio Interference Regulations of the Canadian Department of Communications.
The design characteristics of the drive serve to minimize radiation when installed in an enclosure that provides reasonable
shielding. As such, the drive is capable of meeting the Class B limits of the FCC Rules and Regulations of the Canadian
Department of Communications when properly packaged. However, it is the user’s responsibility to assure that the drive
meets the appropriate EMI requirements in their system. Shielded I/O cables may be required if the enclosure does not
provide adequate shielding. If the I/O cables are external to the enclosure, shielded cables should be used, with the shields
grounded to the enclosure and to the host controller.
2.1.1.1 Electromagnetic susceptibility
As a component assembly, the drive is not required to meet any susceptibility performance requirements. It is the
responsibility of those integrating the drive within their systems to perform those tests required and design their system to
ensure that equipment operating in the same system as the drive or external to the system does not adversely affect the
performance of the drive. See Table 2, DC power requirements.
