Regulatory Compliance Statements
The following statements of compliance are required by the respective governmental
regulatory agencies.
DIGITAL Server 3220R (Rackmount Model)
FCC Notice — U.S.A.
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.
CAUTION:
Any changes or modifications t o this device, whic h
are not identif ied in this manual, could c aus e har m ful
interferenc e and v oid the user’s author ity to operat e this device.
CSA — Canada
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emissions
established in the radio interference regulations of the Canadian Department of
Communications.
VCCI — Japan
This equipment is in the Class I category (information equipment to be used in
commercial and/or industrial areas) and conforms to the standards set by the
Voluntary Control Council for Interference (VCCI) by Data Processing Equipment and
Electronic Office Machines aimed at preventing radio interference in commercial
and/or industrial areas.
Consequently, when used in a residential area or in an adjacent area thereto, radio
interference may be caused to radio and TV receivers, etc.
Read the instructions for correct handling.
DIGITAL Server 3220 (Pedestal Model)
FCC Notice — U.S.A.
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.
All external cables connecting to this basic unit need to be shielded. For cables
connecting to option boards, see the option manual or installation instructions.
CSA — Canada
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emissions
established in the radio interference regulations of the Canadian Department of
Communications.
VCCI — Japan
This equipment is a Class II product based on the standard of the Voluntary Control
Council for Interference Technology Equipment (VCCI). If it is used near a radio or
television receiver in a domestic environment, it may cause radio interference. Install
and use the equipment according to the instruction manual.
DIGITAL Server 3220/3220R
Ergonom ics — Germany
This equipment meets or exceeds the ergonomic requirements of ZH1/618, TÜV,
Rheinland, Germany.
Safety Requir ements
This equipment meets or exceeds safety requirements in the U.S. (UL 1950),
Canada (CSA C22.2 No. 950), and Europe (IEC 950 and TÜV EN60950/A3: 1995).
The product is certified to bear the GS-Mark (Geprüfte Sicherheit) and CB
certification.
Laser Safety Notice
All CD-ROM drives included in DIGITAL compu te r s a r e cl a s si fied as Class 1 laser
products and comply with safety standards as set by U.S. government and applicable
European agencies.
No hazardous radiation is emitted from this CD-ROM drive; the laser beam is
completely enclosed in the CD-ROM subassembly during all customer operation and
maintenance. In the event that repair or service of the CD-ROM subassembly is
required, only authorized DIGITAL servi ce p e r sonnel should perform such repairs.

Diagnostic Software
Diagnostic software is shipped with every DIGITAL Serve r o n th e Qu i c k Launch CDROM. This software contains an advanced set of diagnostic utilities for identifying
and correcting problems with the server. The diagnostic software is used to verify
proper hardware installation and isolate intermittent problems that are not detected by
the Power-On Self Test (POST).
The diagnostic program is a stand-alone MS-DOS package that is run from diskettes
or from the DOS partition on the server’s hard disk drive.
The diagnostic software includes:
•
AMIDiag base diagnostic (processors, memory, and main logic board
components tests) from American Megatrends, Inc.
•
DIGITAL vendor extended tests (SCSI, network, IDE, and RAID)
•
Extensive on-line help and the
AMIDiag User’s Guide
Refer to Chapter 2, “Server Software and Utilities” for information on creating
diagnostic diskettes from the Quick Launch CD-ROM.
For additional information on “When to Use the Diagnostics” and “Running the
Diagnostics”, refer to Chapter 13. Also refer to the AMIDiag User’s Guide,
located on the Quick Launch CD-ROM and to the README.TXT file on the
diagnostics diskettes.
