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 8.4.
2.1Standards
The NL35 Series 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 NL35 Series disc drive is a UL recognized component per UL1950, CSA certified to CAN/CSA C22.2 No.
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 Communica- tions.
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.
2.1.2Electromagnetic 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 Table 11, DC power requirements.
