• 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 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. 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.
