Dell™ computers are designed, tested, and classified for their intended electromagnetic environment. These electromagnetic

environment classifications generally refer to the following harmonized definitions:

Class A is typically for business or industrial environments.

Class B is typically for residential environments.

Information Technology Equipment (ITE), including devices, expansion cards, printers, input/output (I/O) devices, monitors,

and so on, that are integrated into or connected to the computer should match the electromagnetic environment classification

of the computer.

A Notice About Shielded Signal Cables: Use only shielded cables for connecting devices to any Dell device to

reduce the possibility of interference with radio communications services. Using shielded cables ensures that you

maintain the appropriate EMC classification for the intended environment. For parallel printers, a cable is

available from Dell. If you prefer, you can order a cable from Dell on the World Wide Web at

accessories.us.dell.com/sna/category.asp?category_id=4117.

Most Dell computers are classified for Class B environments. However, the inclusion of certain options can change the rating

of some configurations to Class A. To determine the electromagnetic classification for your computer or device, refer to the

following sections specific for each regulatory agency. Each section provides country-specific EMC/EMI or product safety

information.

FCC Notices (U.S. Only)

Most Dell computers are classified by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) as Class B digital devices. To determine

which classification applies to your computer, examine all FCC registration labels located on the bottom, side, or 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 computer is considered to be a Class A digital device. If all labels carry an FCC Class B rating as distinguished by
either an FCC ID number or the FCC logo, (

), your computer is considered to be a Class B digital device.

Once you have determined your computer's FCC classification, read the appropriate FCC notice. Note that FCC regulations

provide that changes or modifications not expressly approved by Dell could void your authority to operate this equipment.
