Cheetah 15K.5 FC Product Manual, Rev. F
3
The drive has been developed as a system peripheral to the highest st and ards of desig n and constru ction. T he
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, au di ble noise con trol , an d tempe ratu re reg u-
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.
2.1 Standards
The Cheetah 15K.5 FC family complies with Seagate standards as noted in the appropriate sections of this
manual and the Seagate Fibre Channel Interface Manual, part number 100293070.
The Cheetah 15K.5 FC disc drive is a UL recognized component per UL1950, CSA certified to CAN/CSA
C22.2 No. 950-95, and VDE or TUV certified to EN60950.
2.1.1 Electromagnetic 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 me eting th e Cl ass B li mit s of the FCC R ules a nd Reg ul a-
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 enclosur e and to the host co n-
troller.
2.1.1.1 Electromagnetic 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 Table 2, DC power requirements.
