Information – Canada
Communications Canada (i.e., the Department of Communications) regulates digital
devices similar to the FCC in the United States. Every product should be labeled or
provided with documentation that states the class of the product. The DOC defines
the environment in which a digital device should be used as the FCC does, DOC
Class A is for an industrial or a commercial area and DOC Class B is for a
residential, an industrial, or a commercial area.
As it is with the FCC, every peripheral of a system must meet DOC Class B levels in
order for a system to be considered DOC Class B. If any peripheral or the
workstation is DOC Class A, the system is DOC Class A and should not be used in
a residential area.
An end-user in Canada is responsible for ensuring that his system is suitable for its
environment as stated in the above paragraph.
If dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs) or internal drives are added to the
workstation, the DOC Class of the machine could be affected. All DIMMs and
internal drives offered by Sun for use in a Sun workstation have been tested and will
not change the DOC Class labeled on the workstation if installed per the instructions
in the Sun Installation Guide. If memory or drives are purchased from sources other
than Sun, the DOC Class of the workstation may be adversely affected.
