Use the following safety guidelines to help protect your APR from potential damage
and to help ensure your own personal safety:
Do not attempt to service the APR yourself. Always follow installation
instructions closely.
Be sure that nothing rests on your AC adapter’s power cable.
Be sure that the cable is not located where it can be tripped over or stepped on.
Place the AC adapter in a ventilated area, such as a desktop or on the floor, when
powering the APR. Do not cover the AC adapter with papers or other items that
will reduce cooling. Do not use the AC adapter inside a carrying case.
Do not use your APR in a wet environment, for example, near a bathtub, sink, or
swimming pool or in a wet basement.
Do not push objects into air vents or openings of your APR. Doing so can cause
fire or electric shock by shorting out interior components.
Use only the AC adapter that is approved for use with this APR as indicated in
this document. Use of another type of AC adapter may risk fire or explosion.
Before you connect the APR to a power source, ensure that the voltage rating
of the AC adapter matches that of the available power source:
— 115 volts (V)/60 hertz (Hz) in most of North and South America and some Far
Eastern countries such as South Korea and Taiwan
— 100 V/50 Hz in eastern Japan and 100 V/60 Hz in western Japan
— 230 V/50 Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East and the Far East
To help prevent electric shock, plug the AC adapter and peripheral power cables
into properly grounded electrical outlets. These cables are equipped with 3-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 cable, use a 3-wire
cable with properly grounded plugs.
If you use an extension cable with your AC adapter, ensure that the total ampere
rating of the products plugged into the extension cable does not exceed the
ampere rating of the extension cable.
To remove power from the APR, turn off the computer and disconnect the AC
adapter from the electrical outlet.
To help avoid the potential hazard of electric shock, do not connect or disconnect
any cables or perform maintenance or reconfiguration of this product during an
electrical storm.
When setting up the APR for work, place it on a level surface.
Protect your APR from environmental hazards such as dirt, dust, food, liquids,
temperature extremes, and overexposure to sunlight.
When you move your APR between environments with very different
temperature or humidity ranges, condensation may form on or within the
support.dell.com Dell Inspiron Advanced Port Replicator User’s Guide 1-9
computer. To avoid damaging the APR, allow sufficient time for the moisture to
evaporate before using the computer.
9%&'-
-
"&'
When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain-relief loop, not
on the cable itself. As you pull out the connector, keep it evenly aligned to avoid
bending any connector pins. Also, before you connect a cable make sure both
connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.
Before you clean your APR, turn it off and unplug it from the electrical outlet.
Clean your APR with a soft cloth dampened with water rather than with liquid or
aerosol cleaners.
If your APR gets wet or is damaged, follow the procedures described in
Chapter 3, “Troubleshooting,” of the Reference and Troubleshooting Guide. If,
after following these procedures, you confirm that your APR is not operating
properly, contact Dell Computer Corporation. (See Chapter 5, “Getting Help,” in
the Reference and Troubleshooting Guide for the appropriate telephone number.)

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
navigation 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
services, 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.
Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402, Stock No. 004-000-00450-7 or

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
Commission (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 considered to be a Class A digital device. If
all
labels carry an FCC Class B
rating as distinguished by either an FCC ID number or the FCC logo, ( ), your sys-
tem is considered 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
following two conditions:
This device may not cause harmful interference.
This device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
Class A
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
manufacturer’s instruction manual, may cause harmful interference with radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause
harmful interference, in which case you will be required to correct the interference at
your own expense.

inclusion of certain options can change the rating of some configurations to Class A.
ITE, including peripherals, expansion cards, printers, input/output (I/O) devices,
monitors, and so on, integrated into or connected to the system, should match the
electromagnetic environment classification (Class A or B) of the computer system.
To determine which classification applies to your computer system, examine the
regulatory labels/markings (see Figures 1-7 and 1-8) located on the bottom or back
panel of your computer. Once you have determined your system’s VCCI classification,
read the appropriate VCCI notice.
This device belongs to Class B devices as described in EN 55022, unless it is spe-
cifically stated that it is a Class A device on the specification label. The following
applies to devices in Class A of EN 55022 (radius of protection up to 30 meters).
The user of the device is obliged to take all steps necessary to remove sources of
interference to telecommunication or other devices.

To determine which classification (Class A or B) applies to your computer system
(or other Dell digital device), examine the South Korean Ministry of Communications
(MOC) registration labels located on your computer (or other Dell digital device). The
MOC label may be located separately from the other regulatory marking applied to
your product. The English text, “EMI (A),” for Class A products, or “EMI (B)” for
Class B products, appears in the center of the MOC label (see Figures 1-9 and 1-10).
NOTE: MOC emissions requirements provide for two classifications:
Class A devices are for business purposes.
Class B devices are for nonbusiness purposes.
Class A Device
Please note that this device has been approved for business purposes with regard to
electromagnetic interference. If you find that this device is not suitable for your use,
you may exchange it for a nonbusiness device.
