Barracuda ATA II 100 Family Product Manual, Rev. A

1.12 Agency certification
1.12.1 Safety certification
The drives are recognized in accordance with UL 1950 and CSA C22.2
(950) and meet all applicable sections of IEC950 and EN 60950 as tested
by TUV North America.
1.12.2 Electromagnetic compatibility
Hard drives that display the CE mark comply with the European Union
(EU) requirements specified in the Electromagnetic Compatibility Direc-
tive (89/336/EEC). Testing is performed to the levels specified by the
product standards for Information Technology Equipment (ITE). Emis-
sion levels are defined by EN 55022, Class B and the immunity levels
are defined by EN 55024.
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. 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 operation inside a properly designed enclosure, with prop-
erly shielded I/O cable (if necessary) and terminators on all unused I/O
ports. Computer manufacturers and system integrators should confirm
EMC compliance and provide CE marking for their products.
Australian C-Tick (N176)
If these models have the C-Tick marking, they comply with the Australia/
New Zealand Standard AS/NZS3548 1995 and meet the Electromag-
netic Compatibility (EMC) Framework requirements of the Australian
Communication Authority (ACA).
1.12.3 FCC verification
These drives are intended to be contained solely within a personal com-
puter or similar enclosure (not attached as an external device). As such,
each drive is considered to be a subassembly even when it is individually
marketed to the customer. As a subassembly, no Federal Communications
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.) does comply 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
to radio and television reception.
