Marking by the "CE" symbol indicates compliance of the device to directives of the
European Community. A "Declaration of Conformity" in accordance with the standards
has been made and is available from Silicon Graphics upon request.
The SGI 1450 server is FCC-compliant under test conditions that include the use of
shielded cables between the server and its peripherals. Your server 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, make sure they are shielded. Telephone cables do not
need to be shielded.
Optional monitor cables supplied with your server system use additional filtering
molded into the cable jacket to reduce radio frequency interference. Always use the cable
supplied with your system. If your monitor cable becomes damaged, a replacement cable
should be obtained from Silicon Graphics.
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.
It is important that while you are operating the server system you keep all the covers and
doors, including the plastics, in place. The shielded cables that came with the server and
its peripherals should be installed correctly, with all thumbscrews fastened securely.
An ESD wrist strap may be included with some products, such as memory or PCI
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.
