2.14 Agency certification

2.14.1 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.

2.14.2 Electromagnetic compatibility

Hard drives that display the CE mark comply with the European Union (EU) requirements specified in the Electro-

magnetic 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 direc-

tives 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 compli-

ance 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.

2.14.3 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, 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.

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
