NVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Seagate designs its products to meet environmental protection requirements worldwide, including regulations restricting certain chemical 
substances.
2.15.1
European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS)
The European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive, restricts the presence of chemical substances, including 
Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, Hexavalent Chromium, PBB and PBDE, in electronic products, effective July 2006. This drive is 
manufactured with components and materials that comply with the RoHS Directive.
2.15.2
China Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive 
This product has an Environmental Protection Use Period (EPUP) of 20 years. The following table contains information 
mandated by China's "Marking Requirements for Control of Pollution Caused by Electronic Information Products" 
Standard.
"O" indicates the hazardous and toxic substance content of the part (at the homogenous material level) is lower than the threshold defined 
by the China RoHS MCV Standard.
"X" indicates the hazardous and toxic substance content of the part (at the homogenous material level) is over the threshold defined by 
the China RoHS MCV Standard.

ORROSIVE ENVIRONMENT
Seagate electronic drive components pass accelerated corrosion testing equivalent to 10 years exposure to light industrial environments 
containing sulfurous gases, chlorine and nitric oxide, classes G and H per ASTM B845. However, this accelerated testing cannot 
duplicate every potential application environment.
Users should use caution exposing any electronic components to uncontrolled chemical pollutants and corrosive chemicals as electronic 
drive component reliability can be affected by the installation
 
environment. The silver, copper, nickel and gold films used in Seagate 
products are especially sensitive to the presence of sulfide, chloride, and nitrate contaminants. Sulfur is found to be the most damaging. 
In addition, electronic components should never be exposed to condensing water on the surface of the printed circuit board assembly 
(PCBA) or exposed to an ambient relative humidity greater than 95%. Materials used in cabinet fabrication, such as vulcanized rubber, 
that can outgas corrosive compounds should be minimized or eliminated. The useful life of any electronic equipment may be extended by 
replacing materials near circuitry with sulfide-free alternatives.
