FCC declaration of conformity

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. See instructions if interference to radio or television reception is suspected.

Radio and television interference

The equipment described in this manual generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy. If it is not installed and used properly—that is, in strict accordance with Apple’s instructions—it may cause interference with radio and television reception.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in Part 15 of FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

You can determine whether your computer system is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the computer or one of the peripheral devices.

If your computer system does cause interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:

mTurn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.

mMove the computer to one side or the other of the television or radio.

mMove the computer farther away from the television or radio.

mPlug the computer into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the computer and the television or radio are on circuits controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)

If necessary, consult an Apple-authorized service provider or Apple. See the service and support information that came with your Apple product. Or, consult an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions.

IMPORTANT Changes or modifications to this product not authorized by Apple Computer, Inc., could void the FCC Certification and negate your authority to operate the product.

This product was tested for FCC compliance under conditions that included the use of Apple peripheral devices and Apple shielded cables and connectors between system components. It is important that you use Apple peripheral devices and shielded cables and connectors between system components to reduce the possibility of causing interference to radios, television sets, and other electronic devices. You can obtain Apple peripheral devices and the proper shielded cables and connectors through an Apple-authorized dealer. For non-Apple peripheral devices, contact the manufacturer or dealer for assistance.

7500 Series specifications

The Apple 7500 Series is a line of personal computers that played a significant role in the evolution of Apple's offerings during the 1990s. Introduced as part of the PowerPC architecture transition, this series was well-received for its unique combination of performance, design, and user-friendliness, making it a popular choice among consumers and professionals alike.

One of the defining features of the 7500 Series is its adoption of the PowerPC 601 processor. This RISC-based architecture provided substantial improvements in processing speed and efficiency compared to its predecessors. The 7500 typically operated at clock speeds ranging from 100 MHz to 120 MHz, enabling it to handle demanding applications and multitasking environments seamlessly.

Another significant characteristic of the 7500 Series is its modular design. Apple engineered this series to be easily upgradable, allowing users to enhance their systems without needing to replace the entire unit. This feature appealed to both home and professional users looking to extend the lifespan of their investment, as they could incrementally improve their systems with new RAM, storage, or expansion cards.

In terms of multimedia capabilities, the 7500 Series was equipped with impressive graphics and sound options for its time. It supported Apple's QuickTime technology, facilitating high-quality video playback and editing. Its built-in stereo sound capabilities, accompanied by enhanced graphics acceleration, made it an excellent option for creative professionals, especially those working in graphic design or multimedia production.

In terms of connectivity, the 7500 Series offered multiple ports, including USB and Ethernet, alongside traditional serial and SCSI connections. This diverse array of options made it convenient for users to connect various peripherals, from printers to external storage devices, expanding their computing capabilities.

The design of the 7500 Series was another highlight. Apple maintained its reputation for aesthetic appeal, featuring a sleek, compact case that fit well into any workspace. It also introduced a more ergonomic keyboard and mouse, enhancing user comfort during extended usage.

Overall, the Apple 7500 Series symbolizes a significant chapter in Apple's history, merging cutting-edge technology with user-centric design. Its legacy lives on, reflecting Apple's commitment to innovation and quality in the computing landscape.
