  • Page 20: Acoustics

    Seagate follows the ECMA-74 standards for measurement and identification of PDTs. An exception to this pro- cess is the use of the absolute threshold of hearing. Seagate uses the lower limit for the threshold curve* to discern tone audibility and to compensate for the inaudible components of sound prior to computation of tone ratios according to Annex D of the ECMA-74 standards.

    ATA Master password, or return the drive in the Security Erased state with the User Data Area accessible. If these recommendations are not followed, Seagate cannot access the drive to perform failure analysis to verify your warranty claim.

  • Page 22: Agency Certification

    Information Technology Equipment (ITE). Emission 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.

  • Page 23: Environmental Protection

    Seagate Technology LLC has tested this device in enclosures as described 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.

  • Page 24: China Restriction Of Hazardous Substances (Rohs) Directive

    The sil- ver, copper, nickel and gold films used in Seagate products are especially sensitive to the presence of sulfide, chloride, and nitrate contaminants. Sulfur is found to be the most damaging. In addition, electronic components should never be exposed to condensing water on the surface of the printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) or exposed to an ambient relative humidity greater than 95%.

  • Page 25: Configuring And Mounting The Drive

    Refer to Table 1 on page 2 to determine which mode is best for your particular solution. Note. As with any disc drive, Seagate highly encourages consumers to consistently back up their data as well as the security pre-boot password, user name, and domain name on another storage device.
