Chapter 3 Component Definition and Maintenance
To clean up, soak into an absorbent material and discard into an emergency
container, or, if significant leakage occurs, pump fluid directly into the container.
Do not dispose into any drain or into the environment in general or into general
landfill refuse. Dispose of according to local regulations. If disposing of an entire
capacitor, the same disposal precautions should be taken.
Printed Circuit Boards
Printed circuit boards may contain lead in components and materials. Circuit
boards must be disposed of according to local regulations and must not be
disposed of with general landfill refuse.
Lithium Batteries
This drive contains four small lithium batteries. Three are mounted on the
printed circuit boards and one is located in the PanelView user interface. Each
battery contains less than 0.05g of lithium, which is fully sealed within the
batteries. Shipping and handling of these batteries is typically not restricted by
environmental regulations, however, lithium is considered a hazardous substance.
Lithium batteries must be disposed of according to local regulations and must
not be disposed of with general landfill refuse.
Chromate Plating
Some sheet steel and fasteners are plated with zinc and sealed with a chromate-
based dip (gold-colored finish). Shipping and handling of the chromate plating
parts is typically not restricted by environmental regulations, however, chromate
is considered a hazardous substance. Dispose of chromate plated parts according
to local regulations, not with general landfill refuse.
In Case Of Fire
This drive is highly protected against arcing faults and therefore it is very unlikely
the drive would be the cause of a fire. In addition, the materials in the drive are
self-extinguishing (i.e. they will not burn without a sustained external flame). If,
however, the drive is subjected to a sustained fire from some other source, some of
the polymer materials in the drive will produce toxic gases. As with any fire,
individuals involved in extinguishing the fire or anyone in close proximity should
wear a self-contained breathing apparatus to protect against any inhalation of
toxic gases.
