A Notice About Networked Computer Systems: Some Dell computer systems
that are classified for Class B environments may include an on-board
network interface controller (NIC). If your Class B system contains a NIC,
it may be considered to be a Class A system at the time that the NIC is
connected to a network. When the NIC is not connected to a network, your
system is considered to be a Class B digital device.
Most Dell computer systems are classified for Class B environments. To determine
the electromagnetic classification for your system or device, refer to the following
sections specific for each regulatory agency. Each section provides country-specific
EMC/EMI or product safety information.
FCC Notices (U.S. Only)
Most Dell computer systems are classified by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) as Class B digital devices. However, the inclusion of certain
options can change the rating of some configurations to Class A. To determine which
classification applies to your computer system, examine all FCC registration labels
located on the bottom or back panel of your computer, on card-mounting brackets, and
on the cards themselves. If any one of the labels carries a Class A rating, your entire
system is considered to be a Class A digital device. If
all
labels carry an FCC Class B
rating as distinguished by either an FCC ID number or the FCC logo, (
), your sys-
tem is considered to be a Class B digital device.
Once you have determined your system’s FCC classification, read the appropriate
FCC notice. Note that FCC regulations provide that changes or modifications not
expressly approved by Dell Computer Corporation could void your authority to operate
this equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions:
•
This device may not cause harmful interference.
•
This device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
Class A
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
