2.0Applicable 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 opti- mum 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 regu- lation. In particular, the drive must be securely mounted in order to guarantee the specified performance char- acteristics. Mounting by bottom holes must meet the requirements of Section 8.5.

2.1Standards

The Cheetah 10K.6 FC family complies with Seagate standards as noted in the appropriate sections of this manual and the Seagate Fibre Channel Interface Manual, part number 77767496.

The Cheetah 10K.6 FC disc drive is a UL recognized component per UL1950, CSA certified to CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 950-95, and VDE certified to VDE 0805 and EN60950.

2.1.1Electromagnetic 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 Regula- tions 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 con- troller.

2.1.1.1Electromagnetic 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 Section 5.1.1 and Table 1, DC power requirements.

2.1.2Electromagnetic compliance

Seagate uses an independent laboratory to confirm compliance with the directives/standards for CE Marking and C-Tick Marking. The drive was tested in a representative system for typical applications. The selected sys- tem represents the most popular characteristics for test platforms. The system configurations include:

•Typical current use microprocessor

•3.5-inch floppy disc drive

•Keyboard

•Monitor/display

•Printer

•External modem

•Mouse

Although the test system with this Seagate model complies with the directives/standards, we cannot guarantee that all systems will comply. The computer manufacturer or system integrator shall confirm EMC compliance and provide the appropriate marking for their product.

Electromagnetic compliance for the European Union

If this model has the CE Marking it complies with the European Union requirements of the Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 89/336/EEC of 03 May 1989 as amended by Directive 92/31/EEC of 28 April 1992 and Directive 93/68/EEC of 22 July 1993.
