Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive for Recovery, Recycle and Reuse of IT and
Telecommunications Products
Dell Force10 switches are labeled in accordance with European Directive 2002/96/EC concerning waste
electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). The Directive determines the framework for the return and
recycling of used appliances as applicable throughout the European Union. This label, as shown in
Figure C-1
, is applied to various products to indicate that the product is not to be thrown away, but rather
reclaimed upon end of life per this Directive.
Figure C-1. The European WEEE symbol
In accordance with the European WEEE Directive, electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) is to be
collected separately and to be reused, recycled, or recovered at end of life. Users of EEE with the WEEE
marking per Annex IV of the WEEE Directive, as shown above, must not dispose of end of life EEE as
unsorted municipal waste, but use the collection framework available to customers for the return,
recycling and recovery of WEEE. Customer participation is important to minimize any potential effects
of EEE on the environment and human health due to the potential presence of hazardous substances in
EEE.
Dell Force10 products, which fall within the scope of the WEEE, are labeled with the crossed-out
wheelie-bin symbol, as shown above, as required by WEEE.
