Safety Characteristics
The Intel® RAID Controller SRCU42E meets or exceeds the requirements of UL flammability rating 94 V0. Each bare board is also marked with the supplier's name or trademark, type, and UL flammability rating. Since these boards are installed in a PCI bus slot, all voltages are below the SELV 42.4 V limit.
