RoHS-Compliance 

The SPX-2 is RoHS-compliant.

HS 

In 2003, the European Union issued Directive 2002/95/EC regarding the Restriction of the use of 
certain Hazardous Substances (RoHS) in electrical and electronic equipment.  

The RoHS directive requires producers of electrical and electronic equipment to reduce to 
acceptable levels the presence of six environmentally sensitive substances: lead, mercury, 
cadmium, hexavalent chromium, and the presence of polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) and 
polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) flame retardants, in certain electrical and electronic 
products sold in the European Union (EU) beginning July 1, 2006.  

VersaLogic Corporation is committed to supporting customers with high-quality products and 
services meeting the European Union’s RoHS directive.   

Warnings 

E

LECTROSTATIC 

D

ISCHARGE

 

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage boards, disk drives and other components. The circuit 
board must only be handled at an ESD workstation. If an approved station is not available, some 
measure of protection can be provided by wearing a grounded antistatic wrist strap. Keep all 
plastic away from the board, and do not slide the board over any surface. 

After removing the board from its protective wrapper, place the board on a grounded, static-free 
surface, component side up. Use an antistatic foam pad if available. 

The board should also be protected inside a closed metallic anti-static envelope during shipment 
or storage.
