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
the Class B rating, your system 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.
A Notice About Shielded Cables: Use only
shielded cables for connecting peripherals to any
Dell device to reduce the possibility of interference
with radio and television reception. Using shielded
cables ensures that you maintain the appropriate
FCC radio frequency emissions compliance (for a
Class A device) or FCC certification (for a Class B
device) of this product. For parallel printers, a
cable is available

Class A

NOTE: This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the manufacturer's instruction manual,
may cause harmful interference with radio communica-
tions. This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class A digital device pursu-
ant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harm-
ful interference when the equipment is operated in a
commercial environment. Operation of this equipment in
a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference,
in which case you will be required to correct the interfer-
ence at your own expense.
