Manufacturer's Regulatory Declarations

This product conforms to several national and international specifications and European Directives listed on the “ Manufacturer's Declaration of Conformity.” The CE insignia displayed on each device is an indication of conformity to the European requirements

Caution: This product has several governmental and third-party approvals, licenses, and permits. Do not modify this product in any way that is not expressly approved by SGI. If you do, you may lose these approvals and your governmental agency authority to operate this device.

Shielded Cables

The Silicon Graphics MultiLink is FCC-compliant under test conditions that include the use of shielded cables. Shielded cables reduce the possibility of interference with radio, television, and other devices. If you use any cables that are not from SGI, make sure they are shielded.

Three cables that fit SGI specifications are shipped with each MultiLink.

The cable that attaches the MultiLink to your host computer or adapter board uses additional filtering molded into the cable jacket to reduce radio frequency interference. If your display cable becomes damaged, contact your service provider.

Electrostatic Discharge

SGI designs and tests its products to be immune to the effects of electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD is a source of electromagnetic interference and can cause problems ranging from data errors and lockups to permanent component damage.

The shielded cable that attaches the MultiLink to your host system or adapter board should be correctly installed and in good condition.

This equipment complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

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/TV technician for help.

Industry Canada Notice (Canada Only)

This Class B digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations.

Cet appareil numérique német pas de perturbations radioélectriques dépassant les normes applicables aux appareils numériques de Classe A préscrites dans le Règlement sur les interferences radioélectriques établi par le Ministère des Communications du Canada.

Electromagnetic Emissions

This device complies with Class B electromagnetic emissions limits of C.I.S.P.R. Publication 22, Limits and Methods of Measurement of Radio Interference Characteristics of Information Technology Equipment.

VCCI Notice (Japan Only)

CE Notice

Marking by the “ CE” symbol indicates compliance of the device to directives of the European Community. A “Declaration of Conformity” in accordance with the above standards has been made and is available from SGI upon request.
