Laser Safety Notice
This laser safety information contains certification and product information covering laser products
known as optical small form factor transceivers incorporated in Emulex LightPulse host adapters. The
small form factor transceiver is the primary cable connection mechanism for any optical port on the host
adapter. This data is not intended to be a replacement for any safety regulations and standards; relevant
safety documents should always be consulted if necessary. Contact Emulex Corporation with any
questions or concerns about laser safety.
Certification and Classification
The LPe11000, LPe11002 and LPe1150 host adapters may contain a laser product known as a small
form factor transceiver. This transceiver provides the physical connection to the optical cable, and its
LC-style connector extends through the mounting bracket. In turn, the host adapter can be inserted into
any host system's appropriate PCI/PCI-X expansion slot.
In the United States, all optical small form factor transceivers sold by Emulex are certified as Class 1
laser products that conform to the requirements contained in the Department of Health and Human
Services (DHHS) regulation 21 CFR subchapter J. The certification is indicated by a label located on the
optical small form factor transceiver.
In Europe, all optical small form factor transceivers sold by Emulex are certified as Class 1 laser
component assemblies that conform to the requirements contained in the CENELEC (European
Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization) standard EN60825-1:1994 (including amendment 11)
and EN60825-2:1994. Small form factor transceivers are certified by a recognized European testing
agency and have appropriate markings on the assembly. The DHHS conformity label and European
conformity mark will not be visible externally once the optical small form factor transceiver is connected
to or inserted in the host adapter and the adapter is installed into a system.
Labeling Requirements
No caution or danger labels are required for use of the small form factor transceiver since they are Class
1 laser component assembly. In the U.S., the only laser safety label required is the DHHS certification
label that already appears on the small form factor transceiver. In Europe, the EN60825-1/EN60825-2
standards require that the system-level product has a Class 1 information label permanently attached
and clearly visible whenever access to the GLM, GBIC, 1x9 and small form factor transceiver optical port
is possible. Each Class 1 product shall have affixed an explanatory label bearing the words:
