FCC Notice

Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and Regulations has
established Radio Frequency (RF) emission limits to provide an interference-free radio
frequency spectrum. Many electronic devices, including computers, generate RF energy
incidental to their intended function and are, therefore, covered by these rules. These rules place
computers and related peripheral devices into two classes, A and B, depending upon their
intended installation. Class A devices are those that may reasonably be expected to be installed
in a business or commercial environment. Class B devices are those that may reasonably be
expected to be installed in a residential environment (i.e., personal computers). The FCC
requires devices in both classes to bear a label indicating the interference potential of the device
as well as additional operating instructions for the user.

FCC Rating Label

The rating label on the device shows which class (A or B) of the equipment. Class B devices
have an FCC ID on the label. Class A devices do not have an FCC ID on the label. After you
determined the class of the device, refer to the following corresponding statement.

Class A Equipment

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 instructions, 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 personal expense.

Class B Equipment

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 corre ct 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 or television technician for help.

Declaration of Conformity for products marked with the FCC logo – United States only

This device 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.

Modifications

The FCC requires the user to be notified that any changes or modifications made to this device
that are not expressly approved by Hewlett-Packard Company may void the user's authority to

hoods in order to maintain compliance with FCC rules and regulations.

Mouse Compliance Statement

This device 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

WARNING: To prevent injury, access is limited to persons who have
appropriate technical training and experience. Such persons are expected to
understand the hazards of working within this equipment and take
measures to minimize danger to themselves or others.

1.2 Rackmount Guidelines

The hp AlphaServer DS15 is a three U unit and the PDU used is one U in size. This allows
for a maximum of 13 s ystems in a 10000-Series cabinet.

1.3 Unpack Rackmount Box

The rackmount box is one of three long boxes found in the unit’s shipping carton (see
Figure 1-1 ). It contains these instructions, two rack brackets, screws, two front brackets for
securing the unit in the rack, template, and a power cord bracket.

1.4 Determine Base Zero

Decide the relative position of the AlphaServer DS15 in the rack. Base zero is where the
bottom of the unit will be when installed in the rack.

Base zero should be the horizontal centerline between the two square openings that are
closest to each other on the vertical rack rail.

If you are adding your AlphaServer DS15 to a rack already populated with other units, then
base zero is near the top of the unit that will be underneath the AlphaServer DS15 you are
installing. Each AlphaServer DS15 needs a clearance of 9 holes (square openi ngs on the
vertical rack rail) to accommodate the three U height.

NOTE: One U of space must be left on the bottom of the rack for a PDU. All population

of rack systems must begin above this one U area."

1.5 Install the Rack Rail Brackets

Figure 1-2 shows the correct positioning of the AlphaServer DS15 on the rack rails. To
install the rack brackets, refer to Figure 1-3 and follow these steps.

1. Insert the longer rear tabs into the corresponding openings on the rear rack rail and push
the bracket slightly toward the rear of the rack
toward the side of the cabinet aligning the shorter front tabs into their corresponding

Y

openings in the front rack rail

.

2. Use two screws to secure the front of each bracket to the front rack rail.

3. Repeat these procedures to install the other bracket in the exact same position on the
other side of the rack.
