Regulatory notices
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) notice
Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and Regulations has established
Radio Frequency (RF) emission limits to provide an interference-free radio frequency spectrum.
Many electronic devices, including computers, generate RF energy incidental to their intended
function and are, therefore, covered by these rules. These rules place computers and related
peripheral devices into two classes, A and B, depending upon their intended installation. Class A
devices are those that may reasonably be expected to be installed in a business or commercial
environment. Class B devices are those that may reasonably be expected to be installed in a
residential environment (for example, personal computers). The FCC requires devices in both classes
to bear a label indicating the interference potential of the device as well as additional operating
instructions for the user.
The rating label on the device shows the classification (A or B) of the equipment. Class B devices
have an FCC logo or FCC ID on the label. Class A devices do not have an FCC logo or FCC ID
on the label. After the class of the device is determined, see the corresponding statement in the
following sections.
FCC Class A certification
This equipment generates, uses, and may emit radio frequency energy. The equipment has been
type tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device pursuant to Part 15 of
the FCC rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such radio frequency
interference.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area may cause interference, in which case the user
at the user’s own expense will be required to take whatever measures may be required to correct
the interference.
Any modifications to this device—unless approved by the manufacturer—can void the user’s
authority to operate this equipment under Part 15 of the FCC rules.
NOTE:
Additional information on the need to interconnect the device with shielded (data) cables
or the need for special devices, such as ferrite beads on cables, is required if such means of
interference suppression was used in the qualification test for the device. This information will vary
from device to device and needs to be obtained from the HP EMC group.
Class A equipment
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 instructions, 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 personal expense.
Class B equipment
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
