Warranty Warnings
WARNING:
!
Modifying or tampering with PSAX chassis components will void your
warranty. Any modification to this equipment not expressly authorized
by Lucent Technologies will void your granted authority to operate such
equipment.
WARNING:
!
Air filters in the PSAX chassis should be inspected for accumulated dust
and replaced as needed. At a minimum, quarterly inspection of the air fil-
ter is recommended. However, depending on the environmental quality
of the facility more or less frequent inspections may be warranted.
Equipment failure due to inadequate maintenance will void your equip-
ment warranty.
WARNING:
!
Use only air filters supplied by Lucent Technologies in your PSAX chassis.
Use of other air filters will void your equipment warranty.
WARNING:
!
Damage to the module and/or chassis, that is caused by excessive force,
when installing the modules will void your equipment warranty.
WARNING:
!
Shipping the chassis with I/O, server, or CPU modules installed may cause
damage to the chassis and the modules. Damage to any of the compo-
nents in the system resulting from improper shipping methods will void
your warranty.
WARNING:
!
Proper ventilation around the chassis must be maintained to prevent
overheating. Air vents in the PSAX chassis must be regularly inspected
and cleared of dust and blockage. Equipment failure associated with
improper maintenance or suspected failure to adhere to proper ventila-
tion procedures will void your warranty.
WARNING:
!
A minimum of 4.45 cm (1.75 in.) clearance on the front, rear, and each
side (left and right) of the chassis must be maintained for adequate air-
flow to prevent equipment failure due to overheating. Failure to provide
this clearance between the chassis and any other device/structure will
void your warranty.

FCC Part 15 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 this guide, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is
likely to cause harmful interference; in this case, you would be required to
correct the interference at your own expense.
All cables used to connect to peripherals must be shielded and grounded.
Operation with cables, connected to peripherals, that are not shielded and
grounded may result in interference to radio and television reception.
The user is cautioned that any changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
FCC Part 68 This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. On the back of the
PSAX chassis is a label that contains the FCC registration number, in addition
to other information. You must provide this information to the telephone
company, if they request it. The FCC requires Lucent Technologies to provide
you with the following information:
1. This equipment has digital service interface capabilities using RJ-48C and
RJ-48H connectors. The facility interface codes with which this equip-
ment complies for digital services are as follows: 04DU9-BN, 04DU9-DN,
04DU9-1KN, and 04DU9-1SN. This equipment has loop start interface
capabilities using an RJ-11C connector. The facility interface code with
which this equipment complies for service is 02LS2. The service order
codes for this equipment are 6.0F for the T1 interface and 9.0Y for the
loop start interface.
2. An FCC-compliant telephone network interface jack is built into this
equipment and is compatible with interconnections that are Part 68 com-
pliant.
3. The REN for the Voice 2-Wire Office module when used in this equip-
ment is 0.7B.
4. If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone
company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of
service might be required. But if advance notice is not practical, the tele-
phone company will notify you as soon as possible. Also, you will be
advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe this
is necessary.
5. The telephone company might make changes in its facilities, equipment,
operations, or procedures that could affect the operation of this equip-
ment. If this happens, the telephone company will provide advance
notice for you to make necessary modifications to maintain uninter-
rupted service.
