Hi Experts, I am now mainly involved with product pre-compliance testing. Hence my knowledge of compliance requirements is rather stale. I have been told that the PC Add-on cards (in this case a SAS Host Bus Adapter) do not require separate compliance by the adapter vendor, but only by the integrator as part of the system. The old rule used to be that any add-on card with external port has to get its own FCC-ID, although tested as part of a system. Years ago when I was in compliance, I remember testing many adapter cards and filing papers with FCC for obtaining FCC-ID for our customers.
Thanks.
