Important: When returning a drive for warranty support, if possible, you should provide the valid 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. To determine the warranty for a specific drive, use a web browser to access the following web page: www.seagate.com/support/service/ From this page, click on the "Verify Your Warranty" link. You will be asked to provide the drive serial number, model number (or part number) and country of purchase. The system will display the warranty information for your drive. 2.13.1 Free Fall Protection feature The Free Fall Protection feature provides enhanced data protection against shock events that may occur while the drive is operating. This feature is designed to decrease the likelihood of data loss by detecting a free fall event and unloading the actuator before a shock takes place in falls of >8 inches (nominal). The drive uses a 0G sensor mounted on the printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) to sense this event. To enable the Free Fall Protection feature on ST9320424ASG, ST9250424ASG, ST9160414ASG, ST9120414ASG, and ST980414ASG models, use Set Features command 41h. To disable this feature, use Set Features command C1h. Information about Free Fall Events that have occurred is available through SMART Attribute FEh. Note. The Free Fall Protection feature is provided only on ST9320424ASG, ST9250424ASG, ST9160414ASG, ST9120414ASG, and ST980414ASG models. 2.14 Agency certification 2.14.1 Safety certification The drives are recognized in accordance with UL 1950 and CSA C22.2 (950) and meet all applicable sections of IEC950 and EN 60950 as tested by TUV North America.

Free Fall Protection feature

The Free Fall Protection feature provides enhanced data protection against shock events that may occur while

the drive is operating. This feature is designed to decrease the likelihood of data loss by detecting a free fall

event and unloading the actuator before a shock takes place in falls of >8 inches (nominal). The drive uses a

0G sensor mounted on the printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) to sense this event.

To enable the Free Fall Protection feature on ST9320424ASG, ST9250424ASG, ST9160414ASG,

ST9120414ASG, and ST980414ASG models, use Set Features command 41h. To disable this feature, use

Set Features command C1h.

Information about Free Fall Events that have occurred is available through SMART Attribute FEh.

Note.

The Free Fall Protection feature is provided only on ST9320424ASG, ST9250424ASG,

ST9160414ASG, ST9120414ASG, and ST980414ASG models.
