Most Dell computer systems are classified by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) as Class B digital
devices. However, the inclusion of certain options
changes 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 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 con-
sidered to be a Class A digital device. If all labels carry
either the Class B rating or the FCC logo (
tem is considered to be a Class B digital device.
NOTE: Some Dell computer systems that are classified as
Class B digital devices may include a built-in network
interface controller (NIC). If your system contains a NIC,
it is considered to be a Class A digital device only at the
time that the NIC is being used. When the NIC is not
being used, your system is considered to be a Class B
digital device.
Once you have determined your system's FCC classifica-
tion, 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.
