Communications Statements

The following statement applies to this product. The statement for other products intended

for use with this product appears in their accompanying manuals.

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Statement

Note: 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

operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can

radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the

instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful

interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his

own expense.

Properly shielded and grounded cables and connectors must be used in order to meet FCC

emission limits. Neither the provider nor the manufacturer are responsible for any radio or

television interference caused by using other than recommended cables and connectors or

by unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment. Unauthorized changes or

modifications could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following

two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must

accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired

operation.

United Kingdom Telecommunications Requirements

This equipment is manufactured to the International Safety Standard EN60950 and as such

is approved in the UK under the General Approval Number NS/G/1234/J/100003 for indirect

connection to the public telecommunication network.

The network adapter interfaces housed within this equipment are approved separately, each

one having its own independent approval number. These interface adapters, supplied by the

manufacturer, do not use or contain excessive voltages. An excessive voltage is one which

exceeds 70.7 V peak ac or 120 V dc. They interface with this equipment using Safe Extra

Low Voltages only. In order to maintain the separate (independent) approval of the

manufacturer’s adapters, it is essential that other optional cards, not supplied by the

manufacturer, do not use main voltages or any other excessive voltages. Seek advice from a

competent engineer before installing other adapters not supplied by the manufacturer.

International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Statement

This product has been designed and built to comply with IEC Standard 950.

xOperator Guide

European Union (EU) Statement

This product is in conformity with the protection requirements of EU Council Directive

89/336/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to

electromagnetic compatibility.

Neither the provider nor the manufacturer can accept responsibility for any failure to satisfy

the protection requirements resulting from a non-recommended modification of the product,

including the fitting of option cards not supplied by the manufacturer.

This product has been tested and found to comply with the limits for Class A Information

Technology Equipment according to CISPR 22 / European Standard EN 55022. The limits

for Class A equipment were derived for commercial and industrial environments to provide

reasonable protection against interference with licensed communication equipment.

Attention: This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause

radio interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.

Avis de conformité aux normes du ministère des Communications du

Canada Cet appareil numérique de la classe A respecte toutes les exigences du Réglement sur le

matériel brouilleur du Canada.

Canadian Department of Communications Compliance Statement

This Class A digital apparatus meets the requirements of the Canadian

Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations.

VCCI Statement

The following is a summary of the VCCI Japanese statement in the box above.

This equipment is in the Class 1 category (information equipment to be used in

commercial and/or industrial areas) and conforms to the standards set by the Vol-

untary Control Council For Interference by Data Processing Equipment and Elec-

tronic Office Machines aimed at preventing radio interference in commercial and/

or industrial areas.

Consequently, when used in a residential area or in an adjacent area thereto, radio

interference may be caused to radios and TV receivers, etc.

Read the instructions for correct handling. VCCI–1.

A class 3 laser is contained in the device. Do not attempt to operate the drive while it

is disassembled. Do not attempt to open the covers of the drive as it is not

serviceable and is to be replaced as a unit.

Class 1 laser products are not considered to be hazardous. The optical drive contains

internally a Class 3B gallium-arsenide laser that is nominally 30 milliwatts at 830

nanometers. The design incorporates a combination of enclosures, electronics, and

redundant interlocks such that there is no exposure to laser radiation above a Class 1 level

during normal operation, user maintenance, or servicing conditions.
