• Lithium Batteries
This drive contains 4 small lithium batteries. 3 are mounted to printed
circuit boards and 1 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 not
restricted under any 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
chromate plated parts is not restricted under any regulations, however,
chromate is considered a hazardous substance. Chromate plated parts
must be disposed of according to local regulations and must not be
disposed of 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.
Disposal
When disposing of the drive, it should be disassembled and separated into
groups of recyclable material as much as possible (i.e. steel, copper,
plastic, wire, etc.). These materials should then be sent to local recycling
facilities. In addition, all disposal precautions mentioned above must also
be taken for those particular materials.
