Seagate ST3400071FC, ST3500071FC manual Electromagnetic compliance, Environmental protection

2.2Electromagnetic 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.

2.3Environmental protection

Seagate designs its products to meet environmental protection requirements worldwide, including regulations restricting certain chemical substances.

European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS)

A new law, the European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive, will restrict the pres- ence of chemical substances, including Lead (Pb), in electronic products effective July 2006. The directive’s requirements have not been finalized. This drive is manufactured with components and materials that are expected to comply with the RoHS directive when the directive takes effect.
