The following information is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: 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 users will be required to correct the interference at their own expense.
The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: The equipment described in this manual generates and may radiate
radio-frequency energy. If it is not installed in accordance with Cisco’s installation instructions, it may cause interference with radio and television
reception. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in
part 15 of the FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
Modifying the equipment without Cisco’s written authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class
A or Class B digital devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct
any interference to radio or television communications at your own expense.
You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco
equipment or one of its peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by
using one or more of the following measures:
• Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.
• Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television
or radio are on circuits controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)
Modifications to this product not authorized by Cisco Systems, Inc. could void the FCC approval and negate your authority to operate the product.

General Precautions
Observe the following general precautions for using and working with your
system:
• Observe and follow service markings. Do not service any Cisco product
except as explained in your system documentation. Opening or removing
covers that are marked with the triangular symbol with a lightning bolt may
expose you to electrical shock. Components inside these compartments
should be serviced only by an authorized service technician.
• If any of the following conditions occur, unplug the product from the
electrical outlet and replace the part or contact your authorized service
provider:
– The power cable, extension cord, or plug is damaged.
– An object has fallen into the product.
– The product has been exposed to water.
– The product has been dropped or damaged.
– The product does not operate correctly when you follow the operating
instructions.
• Keep your system components away from radiators and heat sources. Also,
do not block cooling vents.
• Do not spill food or liquids on your system components, and never operate
the product in a wet environment.
• Do not push any objects into the openings of your system components. Doing
so can cause fire or electric shock by shorting out interior components.
• Use the product only with other Cisco-approved equipment.
• Allow the product to cool before removing covers or touching internal
components.
• Use the correct external power source. Operate the product only from the type
of power source indicated on the electrical ratings label. If you are not sure
of the type of power source required, consult your service representative or
local power company.
• Use only approved power cables. If you have not been provided with a power
cable for your IP/TV server or for any AC-powered option intended for your
system, purchase a power cable that is approved for use in your country. The
power cable 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 cable should be greater than the ratings marked on the product.
• To help prevent electric shock, plug the system components and peripheral
power cables into properly grounded electrical outlets. These cables are
equipped with three-prong plugs to help ensure proper grounding. Do not use
adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from a cable. If you must use
an extension cord, use a three-wire cord with properly grounded plugs.
• Observe extension cord and power strip ratings. Make sure that the total
ampere rating of all products plugged into the extension cord or power strip
does not exceed 80 percent of the extension cord or power strip ampere
ratings limit.
• Do not use appliance or voltage converters or kits sold for appliances with
your product.
• To help protect your system components from sudden, transient increases and
decreases in electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or
uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
• Position cables and power cords carefully; route cables and the power cord
and plug so that they cannot be stepped on or tripped over. Be sure that
nothing rests on your system components’ cables or power cord.
• Do not modify power cables or plugs. Consult a licensed electrician or your
power company for site modifications. Always follow your local or national
wiring rules.
• For rack configurations, make sure that space is available around the
IP/TV Server to enable the IP/TV Server cooling system to work properly.
See the documentation that comes with the rack for additional information.
• The IP/TV Server cover is in place during normal operation.
• The air baffle cover over the microprocessors remains closed during normal
operation.
• The air baffle is installed between the fans and the power supply.
• Cables for optional adapters are routed according to the instructions provided
with the adapters.
• A failed fan is replaced within 48 hours.
• IP/TV Server is turned off and the power cords are disconnected before you
open the air baffle cover.
• The air baffle assembly is always installed in IP/TV Server except when you
are installing or removing the components that are located under the air baffle
cover.
• When the air baffle assembly is installed in IP/TV Server, the air baffle cover
is always closed.
• Microprocessor socket 2 always contains either a microprocessor baffle or
a microprocessor.
