Agency certification
2.12.1 Safety certification
These products are certified to meet the requirements of UL60950-1, CSA60950-1 and EN60950 and so marked as to the certify
agency.
2.12.2 Electromagnetic compatibility
Hard drives that display the CE mark comply with the European Union (EU) requirements specified in the Electromagnetic
Compatibility Directive (2004/108/EC) as put into place 20 July 2007. Testing is performed to the levels specified by the product
standards for Information Technology Equipment (ITE). Emission levels are defined by EN 55022, Class B and the immunity levels are
defined by EN 55024.
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 properly 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.
Korean RRL
If these drives have the Korean Communications Commission (KCC) logo, they comply with paragraph 1 of Article 11 of the
Electromagnetic Compatibility control Regulation and meet the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Framework requirements of
the Radio Research Laboratory (RRL) Communications Commission, Republic of Korea.
These drives have been tested and comply with the Electromagnetic Interference/Electromagnetic Susceptibility (EMI/EMS) for Class
B products. Drives are tested in a representative, end-user system by a Korean-recognized lab.
• Family name: Constellation ES.3 Serial ATA
• Certificate number:KCC-REM-STX-Constell-ES3
• Date of Certification: 2012-July-16
Australian C-Tick (N176)
If these models have the C-Tick marking, they comply with the Australia/New Zealand Standard AS/NZ CISPR22 and meet
the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Framework requirements of the Australian Communication Authority (ACA).
2.12.3 FCC verification
These drives are intended to be contained solely within a personal computer 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 has tested this device in enclosures as described above to ensure that the total assembly (enclosure, disk 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.
Radio and television interference. This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and if not installed and used in
strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, may cause interference to radio and television reception.
This equipment is designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference to radio or
television, which can be determined by turning the equipment on and off, users are encouraged to try one or more of the following
corrective measures:
• Reorient the receiving antenna.
• Move the device to one side or the other of the radio or TV.
• Move the device farther away from the radio or TV.
• Plug the computer into a different outlet so that the receiver and computer are on different branch outlets.
If necessary, users should consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions. Users may find
helpful the following booklet prepared by the Federal Communications Commission: How to Identify and Resolve Radio-Television
Interference Problems. This booklet is available from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington,
DC 20402. Refer to publication number 004-000-00345-4.
