FCC Class A Notice — United States

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.

Shielded Cables

Connections between the workstation and peripherals must be made using shielded cables in order to maintain compliance with

FCC radio frequency emission limits.

Modifications

Modifications to this device, not approved by Sun Microsystems, Inc., may void the authority granted to the user by the FCC to

operate this equipment.

FCC Class B Notice — United States

Note – 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

interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television

reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference

by one or more of the following measures:

•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

•Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

•Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

•Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for help.

Shielded Cables

Connections between the workstation and peripherals must be made using shielded cables in order to maintain compliance with

FCC radio frequency emission limits.

Modifications

Modifications to this device, not approved by Sun Microsystems, Inc., may void the authority granted to the user by the FCC to
