Electronic Emission Notices
Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
Statement
Note: 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.
Properly shielded and grounded cables and
connectors must be used in
order to meet FCC
emission limits. IBM is not responsible for any
radio or television interference caused by using
other than recommended cables and connectors
or
by unauthorized changes or modifications to this
equipment. Unauthorized changes
or modifications
could void the
user's authority to operate the
equipment.
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.
xii 6611 Operations Pocket Guide

Canadian Department of Communications
compliance statement
This equipment does not exceed Class A limits per
radio noise emissions for digital apparatus, set out
in the Radio Interference Regulation of the
Canadian Department of Communications.
Operation in a residential area may cause
unacceptable interference to radio and TV reception
requiring the
owner or operator to take whatever
steps are necessary to
correct the interference.
Avis de conformite aux normes du
ministere des Communications du
Canada
Cet equipement ne depasse pas les limites de
Classe A d'emission de bruits radioelectriques pour
les appareils numeriques, telles que prescrites par
Ie Reglement sur Ie brouillage radioelectrique
etabli par Ie ministere des Communications du
Canada. L'exploitation faite en milieu residentiel
peut entrainer Ie brouillage des receptions radio
et
tele, ce qui obligerait Ie proprietaire ou I'operateur
aprendre les dispositions necessaires pour en
eliminer les causes.
Notice to Users in the United Kingdom
The IBM 6611 Network Processor is manufactured
to the International Safety Standard IEC950 and as
such is approved in the United Kingdom under the
General Approval number
NS/G/1234/J/100003.
The network adapter interfaces, housed within the
6611, are approved separately. Each one has its
own independent approval number.
These interface adapters, supplied by IBM, do not
contain excessive voltages. An excessive voltage is
one which exceeds 70.7v peak a.c
or 120v d.c.
They interface with the IBM
6611 using Safe Extra
Low Voltages only. In order to maintain the
independent approval of the IBM adapters,
it is
essential that other optional cards, not supplied by
Notices xiii

IBM, do not use mains voltages or any other
excessive voltages. Seek advice from a competent
engineer before installing other adapters not
supplied by IBM.
Radio Protection for Germany
Instructions to User: Properly shielded and
grounded cables and connectors must be used for
connection to peripherals in
order to meet German
emission limits.
Proper cables are available from IBM authorized
dealers.
Order Information: For new orders, contact an IBM
authorized sales representative. For replacement
orders, contact an IBM authorized service
representative.
International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) Statement
This product has been designed and built to comply
with (lEC) Standard 950.
Japanese Voluntary Control Council for
Interference (VCCI) Statement
This equipment is Class 1 Equipment (information
equipment to be used in commercial and industrial
districts) which is in conformance with the standard
set by Voluntary Control for Interference by Data
Processing Equipment and Electronic Office
Machines (VCCI) with an aim to prevent radio
interference in commercial and industrial districts.
This equipment could cause interference to radio
and television receivers when used in and around
residential districts. Please handle the equipment
properly according to the instruction manual.
