1. Refer to Figure 1-1 to attach external devices to the appropriate connectors on
the back of the port replicator.
NOTES: If the cable connector from the external device has thumbscrews, be
sure to tighten them to ensure a proper connection.
To connect the computer to a network, you must have a network card in your
computer. The advanced port replicator has a network card, so another card is
not required. However, the pass-through port replicator does not have a network
card so you must install a network card in your computer.
The port replicators do not provide small computer system interface (SCSI) sup-
port. To connect the computer to a SCSI device, you must attach a SCSI card to
your computer. See “PC Cards”in the system
Help for information about using
PC Cards.
For detailed information on using external devices with your computer, see “Con-
necting External Devices”in the system

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) is any signal or emission, radiated in free space or
conducted along power or signal leads, that endangers the functioning of a radio navi-
gation or other safety service or seriously degrades, obstructs, or repeatedly
interrupts a licensed radio communications service. Radio communications services
include but are not limited to AM/FM commercial broadcast, television, cellular ser-
vices, radar, air-traffic control, pager, and Personal Communication Services (PCS).
These licensed services, along with unintentional radiators such as digital devices,
including computer systems, contribute to the electromagnetic environment.
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) is the ability of items of electronic equipment to
function properly together in the electronic environment. While this computer system
has been designed and determined to be compliant with regulatory agency limits for
EMI, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If
this equipment does cause interference with radio communications services, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, you are encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient the receiving antenna.
Relocate the computer with respect to the receiver.
Move the computer away from the receiver.
Plug the computer into a different outlet so that the computer and the receiver
are on different branch circuits.
If necessary, consult a Technical Support representative of Dell Computer Corporation
or an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions. You may find
the
FCC Interference Handbook, 1986 , to be helpful. It is available from the U.S. Gov-
ernment Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402, Stock No. 004-000-00450-7 or on
the World Wide Web at http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Compliance/WWW/
tvibook.html.
Dell computer systems are designed, tested, and classified for their intended electro-
magnetic environment. These electromagnetic environment classifications generally
refer to the following harmonized definitions:

Most Dell computer systems are classified for Class B environments. To determine
the electromagnetic classification for your system or device, refer to the following
sections specific for each regulatory agency. Each section provides country-specific
EMC/EMI or product safety information.

Most Dell computer systems are classified by the Federal Communications Commis-
sion (FCC) as Class B digital devices. However, the inclusion of certain options can
change the rating of some configurations to Class A. To determine which classification
applies to your computer system, examine all FCC registration labels located on the
bottom or back panel of your computer, on card-mounting brackets, and on the cards
themselves. If any one of the labels carries a Class A rating, your entire system is con-
sidered to be a Class A digital device. If
all
labels carry either the Class B rating
distinguished by either an FCC ID number or the FCC logo, ( ), your system is con-
sidered to be a Class B digital device.
Once you have determined your system’s FCC classification, read the appropriate
FCC notice. Note that FCC regulations provide that changes or modifications not
expressly approved by Dell Computer Corporation could void your authority to operate
this equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the follow-
ing two conditions:
This device may not cause harmful interference.
This device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
