1. 9 Drive acoustics
Drive acoustics are measured as overall A-weighted acoustic sound power levels (no pure tones). Sound power measurements are taken under essentially free-field conditions over a reflecting plane. Typical sound power (bels) 3. 7 4. 3 Maximum sound power (bels) 4. 1 4. 6
Mode Idle Read/Write
1. 10 Electromagnetic susceptibility
The drive operates without errors when subjected to the following: Radiated noise* Electrostatic discharge* Magnetic field strength 3 volt/meter, 30 Hz to 1 GHz 10 KVolts 5 Gauss
* Electrostatic discharge and radiated noise susceptibility are measured with the drive mounted in a representative computer system (mounted to a ground plane with earth grounding). Discharges are applied to the bezel or other external surfaces on the ground plane.

Preventive maintenance
1. 12 Agency certification 1. 12. 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.
1. 12. 2 Electromagnetic Compatibility
Hard drives that display the CE marking comply with European Union requirements specified in Electromagnetic Compatibility Directives. Seagate uses an independent laboratory to confirm compliance with the EC directives specified in the previous paragraph. Although CE-marked Seagate drives comply with the directives 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 compliance and provide CE marking for their products.
1. 12. 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. 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 cause interference to radio or television, which can be determined by turning the equipment on and off, you are encouraged to try one or more of the following corrective measures: · Reorient the receiving antenna. · Plug the computer into a different outlet so that the receiver and computer are on different branch outlets. If necessary, you should consult your dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions. You may find helpful the following booklet prepared by the Federal Communications Commission: How to Identify and Resolve Radio-Television Interference Problems. Refer to publication number 004-000-00345-4.

2. 0 Drive mounting and configuration
2. 1 Handling and static-discharge precautions
After unpacking, and before installation, the drive may be exposed to potential handling and electrostatic discharge (ESD) hazards. Avoid contact with the printed circuit board, all electronic components and the interface connector. Always rest the drive on a padded antistatic surface until you mount it in the host system.
2. 2 Jumper settings 2. 2. 1 Master/slave configuration
You must establish a master/slave relationship between two drives that are attached to a single AT bus. [. . . ] For a detailed description of these signals, refer to the Draft ATA-4 Standard.
