Constellation.2 SAS Product Manual, Rev. K 8
2.0 Applicable standards and reference documentation
The drives documented in this manual have been developed as system peripherals to the highest standards of design
and construction. The drives depends on host equipment to provide adequate power and environment for optimum
performance and compliance with applicable industry and governmental regulations. Special attention must be
given in the areas of safety, power distribution, shielding, audible noise control, and temperature regulation. In partic-
ular, the drive must be securely mounted to guarantee the specified performance characteristics. Mounting by bot-
tom holes must meet the requirements of Section 10.3.
2.1 Standards
The Constellation®.2 family complies with Seagate standards as noted in the appropriate sections of this manual and
the Seagate SAS Interface Manual, part number 100293071.
The drives are recognized in accordance with UL 60950-1 as tested by UL, CSA 60950-1 as tested by CSA, and EN60950-
1 as tested by TUV.
The security features of Self-Encrypting Drive models are based on the “TCG Storage Architecture Core Specification”
and the “TCG Storage Workgroup Security Subsystem Class: Enterprise_A” specification with additional vendor-
unique features as noted in this product manual.
2.1.1 Electromagnetic compatibility
The drive, as delivered, is designed for system integration and installation into a suitable enclosure prior to use. The
drive is supplied as a subassembly and is not subject to Subpart B of Part 15 of the FCC Rules and Regulations nor the
Radio Interference Regulations of the Canadian Department of Communications.
The design characteristics of the drive serve to minimize radiation when installed in an enclosure that provides rea-
sonable shielding. The drive 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 drive is not required to meet any susceptibility performance requirements. It is the
responsibility of those integrating the drive within their systems to perform those tests required and design their sys-
tem to ensure that equipment operating in the same system as the drive or external to the system does not adversely
affect the performance of the drive. See Table 2 and 3, DC power requirements.
