2.0 Applicable Standards and Reference Documentation
The VS1-250 module has been developed to the highest standards of design and
construction. The module and storage device(s) depends on its host equipment to provide
adequate power and environment for optimum performance and compliance with applicable
industry and governmental regulations. Special attention should be given in the areas of
safety, power distribution, shielding, and temperature regulation.
2.2 Standards
The VS1-250 complies with the VME, SAS, and SATA specifications and standards as
noted in the appropriate sections of this manual.
2.1.1 Electromagnetic compatibility
The VS1-250 module with drive(s), as delivered, is designed for system integration and
installation into a suitable enclosure prior to use. The module is supplied as a subassembly
and is not subject to Subpart B of Part 15 of the FCC Rules and Regulations or the Radio
Interference Regulations of the Canadian Department of Communications.
The design characteristics of the module serve to minimize radiation when installed in an
enclosure that provides reasonable shielding. The module is capable of meeting the Class B
limits of the FCC Rules and Regulations 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
enclosure and to the host controller.
2.1.1.1 Electromagnetic susceptibility
As a component assembly, the VS1-250 is not required to meet any susceptibility
performance requirements. It is the responsibility of those integrating the module within their
systems to perform those tests required and design their system to ensure that equipment
operating in the same system as the module or external to the system does not adversely
affect the performance of the module and its disk drives.
2.1.2 European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS)
The European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive restricts the
presence of chemical substances, including Lead (Pb), in electronic products effective July
2006. A number of parts and materials in Phoenix products are procured from external
suppliers. We rely on the representations of our suppliers regarding the presence of RoHS
substances in these parts and materials. Our supplier contracts require compliance with our
chemical substance restrictions, and our suppliers document their compliance with our
requirements by providing material content declarations for all parts and materials for the
module documented in this publication. Current supplier declarations include disclosure of
the inclusion of any RoHS-regulated substance in such parts or materials.
