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)
Seagate designs its products to meet environmental protection requirements worldwide, including regulations restricting 
certain chemical substances. A new law, 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.
