Regulatory and Integration Information
Regulatory Compliance Identification Numbers
For the purpose of regulatory compliance certifications and identification, this system is assigned a serial
number. This system serial number can be found on the product label, along
with the required approval
markings and information. When requesting certification
information for this product, always refer to this
serial number. This serial number should not
be confused with the marketing name or model number.
Product Regulatory Compliance
Worldwide Safety approvals can be supplied according to the requirements from Marketing or Customer.
Product Safety Compliance
This system complies with the following safety requirements:
Table i Product Safety Requirements IEC
60950-1 Safety of Information Technology Equipment
EN 60950-1 Safety of Information Technology Equipment Including Electrical Business Equipment,
European Committee for Electro technical Standardization
(CENELEC)
UL 60950-1 Safety of Information Technology Equipment
UL 94 Tests for Flammability of Plastic Materials for Parts in Devices & Appliances
GB4943 Safety of Information Technology Equipment
Product EMC Compliance
This product has been tested and verified to comply with the following electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC) regulations.
Communications Commission 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 (for example, 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.

CiB‐9224V12UserManual

7

The rating label on the device shows which class (A or B) the equipment falls into. Class A devices do
not have an FCC logo or FCC ID on the label. Class B devices have an FCC logo
or FCC ID on the
label. Once the class of the device is determined, 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.
Declaration of Conformity for Products Marked with the FCC Logo—United States
Only
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules Operation and 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.
For questions regarding
your product, please contact the supplier.
To identify this product, refer to the Part, Series, or Model number found on the product.
European Union Notice
Products with the CE Marking comply with both the EMC Directive (89/336/EEC) and the Low-
Voltage Directive (73/23/EEC) issued by the Commission of the European Community.
Compliance with these directives implies conformity to the following European Norms (in brackets are
the equivalent international standards):
Table ii European Union EMC Requirements
EN55022 (CISPR 22) Electromagnetic Interference EN55024
(IEC61000-4-2,3,4,5,6,8,11) Electromagnetic Immunity

Power Cords
The power cord set included in the system meets the requirements for use in the country where the
system was purchased. If this system is to be used in another country, purchase a
power cord that is
approved for use in that country.
The power cord must be rated for the product and for the voltage and current marked on the product's
electrical ratings label. The voltage and current rating of the cord should be greater
than the voltage and
current rating marked on the product. In addition, the cross-sectional
area of the wires must be a
minimum of 1.00mm² or 18AWG, and the length of the cords must
be between 1.8m (6 feet) and 3.6m
(12 feet). If you have questions about the type of power
cord to use, contact an authorized service
provider.
Route power cords so that they will not be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against
them. Pay particular attention to the plug, electrical outlet, and the point where the
cords exit from the
product.
Rack Mount Instructions
The following or similar rack-mount instructions are included with the installation instructions:
 Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating
ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room
ambient. Therefore,
consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an
environment compatible with the
maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the
manufacturer.
 Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow
required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
 System placement – System must be place on a leveled surface.
 Circuit Overloading – To avoid power supply overload, make sure main power source is adequate
to accommodate all system.
