As a component, this drive is designed to be installed and oper- ated in accordance with UL1950, EN60950, CAN/CSA C22.2 950-M95, and VDE0805.

Seagate takes all reasonable steps to ensure that its products are certifiable to currently accepted standards. Typical applica- tions of these disc drives include customer packaging and sub- system design. Safety agencies conditionally certify component assemblies, such as the Barracuda disc drive, based on their final acceptability in the end-use product. The subsystem designers are responsible for meeting these conditions of acceptability in obtaining safety-regulatory agency compliance in their end-use products and for certifying where required by law. A necessary part of meeting safety requirements is the provision for overcurrent protection on drive SELV supply voltages.

This unit is a component part and as such is not meant to com- ply with FCC or similar national requirements as a stand-alone unit. Engineering radiated emissions test results are available through the Seagate Safety Department to assist the subsystem designer.
