Laser Safety
When equipped with native Fibre Channel adapters or iSCSI adapters, this
product contains a laser internal to the Optical Link Module (OLM)
contained on the 4-port Fibre Channel Adapter board and 4-port FICON
board, the 8-port Fibre Channel Adapter board and 8-port FICON board,
and the 4-port iSCSI board for connection to a fiber communications
network.
In the USA, the OLM is certified as a Class 1 laser product conforming 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 on the plastic OLM housing. Outside the USA, the
OLM is certified as a Class 1 laser product conforming to the requirements
contained in IEC 825-1:1993 and EN 60825-1:1994, including Amendment
11:1996.
The following figure shows the Class 1 information label that appears on
the plastic housing of the OLM.
Each communications port consists of a transmitter and receiver optical
subassembly. The transmitter subassembly contains internally a
semiconductor laser diode in the wavelength range of 770 to 850
nanometers. In the event of a break anywhere in the fibre path, the OLM
control system prevents laser emissions from exceeding Class 1 levels.
Class 1 laser products are not considered hazardous.
Caution There are no user maintenance operations, service operations, or
adjustments to be performed on the Optical Link Module.
