Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) is any signal or emission, radiated in free space or
conducted along power or signal leads, that endangers the functioning of a radio
navigation or other safety service or seriously degrades, obstructs, or repeatedly
interrupts a licensed radio communications service. Radio communications services include
but are not limited to AM/FM commercial broadcast, television, cellular services, radar,
air-traffic control, pager, and Personal Communication Services (PCS). These licensed
services, along with unintentional radiators such as digital devices, including computer
systems, contribute to the electromagnetic environment.
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) is the ability of items of electronic equipment to
function properly together in the electronic environment. While this computer system has
been designed and determined to be compliant with regulatory agency limits for EMI, there
is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause interference with radio communications services, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, you are encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient the receiving antenna.
- Relocate the computer with respect to the receiver.
- Move the computer away from the receiver.
- Plug the computer into a different outlet so that the computer and the receiver are on
different branch circuits.
If necessary, consult a Technical Support representative of Dell Computer Corporation
or an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions. You may find the
FCC Interference Handbook, 1986, to be helpful. It is available from the U.S. Government
Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402, Stock No. 004-000-00450-7 or on the World Wide Web
at http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Compliance/WWW/tvibook.html.
Dell computer systems 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 peripherals, expansion cards,
printers, input/output (I/O) devices, monitors, and so on, that are integrated into or
connected to the system should match the electromagnetic environment classification of the
computer system.
A Notice About Shielded Signal Cables: Use only shielded cables for connecting
peripherals 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 Computer Corporation. If you prefer, you can order a cable from Dell
Computer Corporation on the World Wide Web at
http://www.dell.com/products/dellware/index.htm.
Most Dell computer systems are classified for Class B environments. To determine the
electromagnetic classification for your system or device, refer to the following sections
specific for each regulatory agency. Each section provides country-specific EMC/EMI or
product safety information.
Most Dell computer systems are classified by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) as Class B digital devices. However, the inclusion of
certain options can change the rating of some configurations to Class A. To determine
which classification applies to your computer system, examine all FCC registration labels
located on the bottom 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
system 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 system is considered to be a
Class B digital device.
Once you have determined your system's FCC classification, read the appropriate FCC
notice. Note that FCC regulations provide that changes or modifications not expressly
approved by Dell Computer Corporation could void your authority to operate this equipment.
