Safety Characteristics

The ServeRAID M1115 SAS/SATA controller meets or exceeds the 
requirements of UL flammability rating 94 V0. Each bare board is also 
marked with the supplier name or trademark, type, and UL flammability 
rating. The board is installed in a PCI Express bus slot, so all voltages 
are lower than the SELV 42.4 V limit.
