USA: Electromagnetic Compatibility Information |
This chapter describes the FCC's requirements for emissions for this product.
Please read all of the following information to determine the class of system you have and the environment in which it should be installed and operated.
In the United States, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) governs the levels of electromagnetic emissions from a digital device. Electromagnetic emissions can interfere with radio and television transmission. To reduce the risk of harmful interference, the FCC has established requirements for manufacturers of digital devices.
A manufacturer of a digital device must test and label the product to inform an end-user of the maximum emission level from the product when used in accordance with its instructions. The FCC has established two classes of levels, Class A and Class B. A system that meets the FCC Class A requirements may be marketed for use in an industrial or a commercial area. A system that meets the more stringent FCC Class B requirements may be marketed for use in a residential area in addition to use in an industrial or a commercial area.
An end-user in the United States is responsible for ensuring that his system is suitable for its environment as stated in the above paragraph and bears the financial responsibility for correcting harmful interference.
For a system to be considered an FCC Class B system, all peripherals of the system (workstation, monitor, keyboard, mouse, external disk and tape drives, modem, printer, etc.) must be labeled as such. If any peripheral or the system itself is labeled as FCC Class A, the entire system becomes FCC Class A and should not be used in a residential area.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference.
2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Connections between the system and other external equipment must be made using shielded cables, earthed at both ends, in order to maintain compliance with FCC radio frequency emission limits.
If the end-user adds single in-line memory modules (SIMMs) or internal drives or cPCI cards to the system, the FCC Class of the machine could be affected. All DIMMs and internal drives offered by Sun for use in a Sun product have been tested and will not change the FCC Class labeled on the product if it is installed per the instructions in the documentation for this product.
If memory, drives, or cPCI cards are purchased from sources other than Sun, the FCC Class of the system may be adversely affected. Modifications not approved by Sun may void the authority granted by the FCC to operate the equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference.
2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Connections between the workstation and peripherals must be made using shielded cables in order to maintain compliance with FCC radio frequency emission limits. Networking connections can be made using unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cables.
Any modifications made to this device that are not approved by Sun Microsystems, Inc. may void the authority granted to the user by the FCC to operate this equipment.
