Environmental Considerations Appendix G
Chromate Plating
Some sheet steel and fasteners are plated with zinc and sealed with a chromate-
based dip. 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 is therefore unlikely the
cause of a fire. In addition, the materials in the drive are self-extinguishing (that
is, 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. 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.
