1.11 Agency certification
1.11.1 Safety certification
The drive is recognized in accordance with UL 1950 and CSA C22.2
(950-M89) and meets all applicable sections of IEC 380, IEC 435,
IEC 950, VDE 0806/08.81 and EN 60950 as tested by TUV-Rheinland,
North America.
1.11.2 Electromagnetic Compatibility
Hard drives that display the CE marking comply with European Union
requirements specified in Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive
89/336/EEC as amended by Directive 92/31/EEC of 28 April 1992 and
Directive 93/68/EEC of 22 July 1993.
Seagate uses an independent laboratory to confirm compliance with the
EC directives specified in the previous paragraph. Drives are tested in
representative end-user systems using 80486, Pentium and PowerPC
microprocessors. Although CE-marked Seagate drives comply with the
directives when used in the test systems, we cannot guarantee that all
systems will comply with the directives. The drive is designed for opera-
tion inside a properly designed enclosure, with properly shielded I/O
cable (if necessary) and terminators on all unused I/O ports. The com-
puter manufacturer or system integrator should confirm EMC compliance
and provide CE marking for their products.
1.11.3 FCC verification
These drives are intended to be contained solely within a personal
computer or similar enclosure, not attached as an external device. As
such, each drive is considered to be a subassembly even when it is sold
individually to the customer. As a subassembly, no Federal Communi-
cations Commission verification or certification of the device is required.
Seagate Technology, Inc. has tested this device in enclosures as de-
scribed above to ensure that the total assembly (enclosure, disc drive,
motherboard, power supply, etc.) complies with the limits for a Class B
computing device, pursuant to Subpart J, Part 15 of the FCC rules.
Operation with noncertified assemblies is likely to result in interference
with radio and television reception.
