Emissions Regulations
Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
The Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. government regulates the radio frequency energy
emanated by computing devices through published regulations. These regulations specify the limits of
radio frequency emission to protect radio and television reception. All HP nodes and peripherals have
been tested and comply with these limits. The FCC regulations also require that computing devices used
in the U.S. display the agency’s label and that the related documentation include the following statement:
NOTICE: 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 de-
signed 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 ra-
dio 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.
Compliance to these regulations requires the use of shielded cables.
Canadian Department of Communications (DOC)
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus
as set out in the Radio Interference Requirements of the Canadian Department of Communications.
Compliance to these regulations requires the use of shielded cables.
VCCI Class 1 ITE
Emissions Regulations Compliance
Any third–party I/O device installed in HP system(s) must be in accordance with the requirements set
forth in the preceding Emissions Regulations statements. In the event that a third–party noncompliant I/O
device is installed, the customer assumes all responsibility and liability arising therefrom.
Compliance to these regulations requires the use of shielded cables.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions
Electrostatic charges can damage the integrated circuits on printed circuit boards. To prevent such dam-
age from occurring, observe the following precautions when unpacking and installing the board.
D Stand on a static–free mat.
D Wear a static strap to ensure that any accumulated electrostatic charge discharges from your body to
ground.
D Connect all equipment together, including the static–free mat, static straps, routing nodes, and pe-
ripheral units.
D Keep uninstalled printed circuit boards in their protective antistatic bags.
D Once you have removed the printed circuit boards from their protective antistatic bags, handle them
by their edges.
