1.11 Agency certification

1.11.1 Safety certification

The drive is recognized in accordance with UL 1950 and CSA C22.2 (950-M89) and meets all applicable sections of IEC 380, IEC 435, IEC 950, VDE 0806/08.81 and EN 60950 as tested by TUV-Rheinland, North America.

1.11.2 Electromagnetic Compatibility

Hard drives that display the CE marking comply with European Union requirements specified in Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 89/336/EEC as amended by Directive 92/31/EEC of 28 April 1992 and Directive 93/68/EEC of 22 July 1993.

Seagate uses an independent laboratory to confirm compliance with the EC directives specified in the previous paragraph. Drives are tested in representative end-user systems using 80486, Pentium and PowerPC microprocessors. Although CE-marked Seagate drives comply with the directives when used in the test systems, we cannot guarantee that all systems will comply with the directives. The drive is designed for opera- tion inside a properly designed enclosure, with properly shielded I/O cable (if necessary) and terminators on all unused I/O ports. The com- puter manufacturer or system integrator should confirm EMC compliance and provide CE marking for their products.

1.11.3 FCC verification

These drives are intended to be contained solely within a personal computer or similar enclosure, not attached as an external device. As such, each drive is considered to be a subassembly even when it is sold individually to the customer. As a subassembly, no Federal Communi- cations Commission verification or certification of the device is required.

Seagate Technology, Inc. has tested this device in enclosures as de- scribed above to ensure that the total assembly (enclosure, disc drive, motherboard, power supply, etc.) complies with the limits for a Class B computing device, pursuant to Subpart J, Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation with noncertified assemblies is likely to result in interference with radio and television reception.

Radio and Television Interference. This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, may cause interference with radio and television reception.
