Notices

Qualstar products are covered by one or more of the following patents: 6,271,982; 6,560,061; and

7,181,313. Other patents pending.

Qualstar equipment is manufactured from new parts, or new and used parts. In some cases,

Qualstar equipment may not be new and may have been previously installed. Regardless,

Qualstar’s warranty terms apply unless the equipment is specifically identified by Qualstar as

“used” or “refurbished.”

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,

pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection

against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This

equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in

accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which

case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. Shielded cables are

required for this device to comply with FCC Rules. Use shielded cables when connecting this device

to others.

European Union Directive 89/336/EEC and Standard

EN55022

(Electromagnetic

Compatibility)

This product has been tested and is certified to be compliant with the Class A provisions of the U.S.,

Canadian, and European standards for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).

European Directive

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)

Qualstar encourages its customers to use current recycling practices in order to reduce

the burden that waste electronic products place on the environment.

If you are retiring a fully functional tape library, you are encouraged to transfer the

functional unit to a new user, thereby extending the useful life of the tape library. The

manufacture of all products requires the consumption of energy. By extending the life of the tape

library, energy is conserved.

In accordance with environmental directives that are being implemented in many countries (refer to

the European Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment - WEEE), Qualstar provides

customers with “End of Life Instructions”that identify the process for recycling the materials

and components that make up a Qualstar tape library.

substances in electrical and electronic equipment) in accordance with the European Directive. The

compliance date is July 1, 2006, at which time Qualstar will certify that its tape library products are

compliant with the RoHS standard.

Qualstar tape libraries are classified as “Information Technology Storage Array Systems”for which

the RoHS Directive provides an exemption for lead solder until the year 2010. Until Qualstar

replaces lead-based solder with lead-free solder, affected subassemblies must be disposed of

appropriately.
