Appendix E Environmental Considerations
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.
