9.9.4 Flammability
The printed circuit boards used in this product are made of material with the UL recognized flammability
rating of V-1 or better. The flammability rating is marked or etched on the board. All other parts not con-
sidered electrical components are made of material with a UL recognized flammability rating of V-1 or
better. However, small mechanical parts such as cable ties, washers, screws, and PC board mounts
may be made of material with a UL recognized flammability rating of V-2.
9.9.5 Safe handling
The product is conditioned for safe handling in regards to sharp edges and corners.
9.9.6 Environment
The product does not contain any known or suspected carcinogens.
Environmental controls meet or exceed all applicable government regulations in the country of origin.
Safe chemical usage and manufacturing control are used to protect the environment. An environmental
impact assessment has been done on the manufacturing process used to build the drive, the drive itself
and the disposal of the drive at the end of its life.
Production also meets the requirements of the international treaty on chloroflurocarbon (CFC) control
known as the United Nations Environment Program Montreal Protocol, and as ratified by the member
nations. Material to be controlled include CFC-11, CFC-12, CFC-113, CFC-114, CFC-115, Halon 1211,
Halon 1301 and Halon 2402. Although not specified by the Protocol, CFC-112 is also controlled. In
addition to the Protocol IBM requires the following:
y
All packa
in
used for the shipment of the product do not use controlled CFCs in the
manufacturin
process.
y
All manufacturin
processes for parts or assemblies include printed circuit boards, does not
use controlled CFC materials.
9.9.7 Secondary circuit protection
Spindle/VCM driver module includes a 12 Volt over current protection circuit.
9.10 Electromagnetic compatibility
When installed in a suitable enclosure and exercised with a random accessing routine—at the maximum
data rate—the hard disk drive meets the following worldwide EMC requirements:
y
The United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and Regulations (Class B),
Part 15. The IBM Corporate Standard C-S 2-0001-026 (A 6 dB buffer shall be maintained on the
emission requirements).

y
Electrostatic Discharge Susceptibility limits for a Class 2 ESD environment specified in IBM
Corporate Standard C-S 2-0001-005.
y
Radiated Electromagnetic Susceptibility (RES) as specified in IBM Corporate
Standard C-S 2-0001-012.
y
Spectrum Management Agency (SMA) EMC requirements of Australia. The SMA has approved two
forms of C-Tick Marking for IBM. IBM National Bulletin NB 2-0001-406.
