SGI™ External DVD Drive Installation Guide

Move the workstation to one side or the other of the radio or television.

Move the workstation farther away from the radio or television.

Plug the workstation into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the radio or
television. (That is, make certain the workstation and the radio or television are on
circuits controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)

For additional information, see the FCC website at
http://www.fcc.gov/cib/Publications/tvibook.html

Shielded Cables

The device is FCC-compliant under test conditions that include the use of shielded cables
between the workstation and its peripherals. Your workstation and any peripherals you
purchase from Silicon Graphics have shielded cables. Shielded cables reduce the
possibility of interference with radio, television, and other devices. If you use any cables
that are not from Silicon Graphics, be sure they are shielded. Telephone cables do not
need to be shielded.

Electrostatic Discharge

Silicon Graphics designs and tests its products to be immune to the effects of electrostatic
discharge (ESD). ESD is a source of electromagnetic interference and can cause problems
ranging from data errors and lockups to permanent component damage.

Note:

While operating your workstation, keep all covers and doors, including the

plastics, in place. The shielded cables included with the workstation and its peripherals
should be installed correctly, with all thumbscrews fastened securely.

An ESD wrist strap is included with some products, such as memory and graphics
upgrades. The wrist strap is used when installing these upgrades to prevent the flow of
static electricity, and it should protect your system from ESD damage.

Product Support

Silicon Graphics provides a comprehensive range of product support for its products. If
you are in North America and would like support for your Silicon Graphics-supported
products, contact the Technical Assistance Center at 1-800-800-4SGI or your authorized
service provider. If you are outside North America, contact the Silicon Graphics
subsidiary or authorized distributor in your country.
