Regulatory Information

FCC-15 User Information

The Brocade iSCSI Gateway has been tested and found to comply with the limits of the Class A digitaldevice, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protectionagainst harmful interference when the Brocade iSCSI Gateway is operated in a commercialenvironment. The Brocade iSCSI Gateway generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and,if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference tothe radio communications. Operation of the Brocade iSCSI Gateway in a residential area is likely tocause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at theuser’s own expense.

Warning per EN 55022

The Brocade iSCSI Gateway is a Class A product. In a domestic environment, this product may causeradio interference, in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment WEEE) Directive

The WEEE directive places an obligation on manufacturers to take back electronics productsat the end of their useful life. For information about the directive and disposal of wasteequipment in the European Union, visit this Web site:http://www.brocade.com/support/WEEEcompliance.jsp

Safety Notices

Read and understand the following notices before installing the Brocade iSCSI Gateway.The power plug must be accessible at all times because it serves as the maindisconnecting vehicle.

Unplug the gateway power cord before performing maintenance procedures.

Do not touch the power supplies when their power cords are connected. Line voltagesare present within the power supplies when their cords are connected.

The safety cover is an integral part of this product. Do not operate the unit without thesafety cover firmly in place. Operating the unit without the cover in place will invalidatethe safety approvals and pose a risk of fire and electrical hazards.

This product relies on the building’s wiring for short-circuit (overcurrent) protection.Ensure that a fuse or circuit breaker no larger than 120 VAC, 15a U.S. (240 VAC, 10Ainternational) is used on the phase conductors (all current-carrying conductors).

The Brocade iSCSI Gateway is intended to be grounded. Ensure that the gateway isconnected to earth ground during normal use.

There is a danger of explosion if the motherboard battery is replaced incorrectly.Replace the battery with the same or an equivalent type as recommended by themanufacturer. Dispose of the used battery according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
