Applicable standards and reference documentation

The drive has been developed as a system peripheral to the highest standards of design and construction. The

drive depends upon its host equipment to provide adequate power and environment in order to achieve opti-

mum 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 regu-

lation. In particular, the drive must be securely mounted in order to guarantee the specified performance char-

acteristics. Mounting by bottom holes must meet the requirements of Section 8.4.

2.1

Standards

The Cheetah 15K.5 SCSI family complies with Seagate standards as noted in the appropriate sections of this

Manual, the Seagate

Parallel SCSI Interface Manual

, part number 100293069, and the

SCSI Commands Ref-

erence Manual

, part number 100293068.

The Cheetah 15K.5 SCSI disc drive is a UL recognized component per UL1950, CSA certified to CSA C22.2

No. 950-95, and VDE or TUV certified to EN60950.

2.1.1

Electromagnetic compatibility

The drive, as delivered, is designed for system integration and installation into a suitable enclosure prior to

use. As such 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 Communica-

tions.

The design characteristics of the drive serve to minimize radiation when installed in an enclosure that provides

reasonable shielding. As such, the drive is capable of meeting the Class B limits of the FCC Rules and Regula-

tions 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 con-

troller.

2.1.2

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 system 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 3, DC power requirements.
