RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE
STATEMENT
WARNING: This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequencyan-
ergy and if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may
cause interference to radio communications. It has been tested and found to com--
ply with the limits for Class A computing devices pursuant to Support J of Part 15 of
FCC Rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such in-
terference. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause inter-
ference in which case the user at his own expense will be required to take whatever
measures may be required to correct the interference. .

STATIC SENSITIVE DEVICES - Some of the semiconduc-
tor devices used in this equipment are susceptible to dam- WAI~NING
age by static discharge. Depending on the magnitude of the
charge, device substrates can be punctured or destroyed by EYE HAZARD - Eye protec1~on must be worn when remov-

separation of materials, and normal motions of persons
working with static sensitive devices.
When handling or servicing equipment containing static
sensitive devices, adequate precautions must be taken to
prevent device damage or destruction. Only those who are
thoroughly familiar with industry accepted techniques for
handling static sensitive devices should attempt to service
the cards with these devices. In all instances, measures
must be taken to prevent static charge buildup on work sur-
faces and persons handling the devices. Cautions are in-
cluded through this manual where handling and mainte-
nance involve static sensitive devices.

Preface
The SCSI Card Installation and Reference Manual describes how to install the SCSI hardware
and software, and how to use the product. It also provides information to help you write your own
device drivers. Consequently, the RTE-A Driver Reference Manual, part number 92077-90011,
and the RTE-A System Generation and Installation Manual, part number 92077-90034, do not
contain SCSI card driver information.
Similarly, the lIP 24612A diagnostic manuals do not contain any information that applies only to
the SCSI Card diagnostic. The documentation strategy of putting all of the required product
information in one manual is new and we hope that you find it a definite improvement. Please use
the Reader Comment sheet at the front of this manual to send us your opinion and your
comments.
Please read the README file on the software media that comes with the product for information
about software revisions and software media part numbers, and for descriptions of additional
software.
Throughout the manual, the term SCSI Card is used for the term Hewlett-Packard 12016A Small
Computer Systems Interface Host Bus Adapter Card.
