Hi Reginald The FCC rules are pretty clear on this subject.
Basically, no additional testing is needed but the assembler is responsible to maintain certain records of his final product. For example, 2.1075 states "If the equipment is assembled using modular components that, by themselves, are subject to authorization under a Declaration of Conformity and/or a grant of certification, and the assembled product is also subject to authorization under a Declaration of Conformity but, in accordance with the applicable regulations, does not require additional testing, the assembler shall maintain the following records in order to show the basis on which compliance with the standards was determined: (1) A listing of all of the components used in the assembly; (2) Copies of the compliance information, as described in §2.1077 for all of the modular components used in the assembly; (3) A listing of the FCC Identifier numbers for all of the components used in the assembly that are authorized under a grant of certification; (4) A listing of equipment modifications, if any, that were made during assembly; and (5) A copy of any instructions included with the components that were required to be followed to ensure the assembly of a compliant product, along with a statement, signed by the assembler, that these instructions were followed during assembly. This statement shall also contain the name and signature of an official of the responsible party, as designated in §2.909." It should be noted that the statement “Copies of the compliance information” would also include Permissive Change (PC change) information. Which means that as you purchase DoC’d items it is up to you as the integrator to make sure you are provided with the latest compliance information from the company you purchase supposed DoC’d products. You are required to keep this information on file for at least 2 years after the last date the product is permanently discontinued.

( I WOULD THINK THAT SINCE THIS PC IS NOT BEING MANUF. FOR RESIDENTIAL USE A DECLARATION IS NOT NECESSARY. **** This computer is NOT INTENDED FOR RESIDENTIAL USE My understanding is that there maybe a "special guidelines " for computer manufacturers regarding FCC Compliance. NO TESTING AT ALL IS NEEDED IF THE COMPONENTS INSIDE HAVE THE FCC MARK ON THEM????? OR IS IT THAT ...A computer must be tested just " one time" in the chassis that these components ( WITH FCC MARKINGS) will go into and AFTER WARD COMPONENTS maybe swapped out OF THAT SAME CHASSIS without ADDITIONAL testing ????? ************************************************************************ ****************************************** FCC ( UNINTENTIONAL RADIATORS ) SECTION 15.19 HAS A PROVISION FOR AN FCC LABEL WITH THE FCC LOGO AND THE STATEMENT ON THE LABEL THAT SAYS..
