Ravinder, No change. If the card has a connection for external cables it is a peripheral device in the eyes of the FCC and must be authorized. Does not necessarily have an FCC ID number, that only happens if you use Certification. Everybody uses the Declaration of Conformity process for unintentional radiators these days, so no FCC ID. Just the label called out in the Rules.

Pettit From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, February 19, 2013 5:56 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Compliance requirement for PC Add-on cards 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.
