IBM RS/6000 SP Switch User Manual


 
CAUTION:
When using step ladder or step stool, be sure that the work surface is level and the step ladder or
step stool is in good working order. (
SPSFC016
)
CAUTION:
Portable ladders present a serious safety hazard if not used properly. Follow these general
guidelines:
v Make sure the ladder is firm and steady, and has no defective rungs or braces.
v Work only on a level surface.
v Never use a metal ladder near electrical power lines.
v Never overreach. Instead, move the ladder.
Be as careful on a short ladder as on a 30-foot extension ladder. False security can lead to
carelessness and falls which can cause painful injuries. (

)
CAUTION:
All IBM laser modules are designed so that there is never any human access to laser radiation
above a class 1 level during normal operation, user maintenance, or prescribed service conditions.
Data processing environments can contain equipment transmitting on system links with laser
modules that operate at greater than class 1 power levels. For this reason, never look into the end
of an optical fiber cable or open receptacle. Only trained service personnel should perform the
inspection or repair of optical fiber cable assemblies and receptacles. (

Laser safety information
The RS/6000 SP might contain certain communication adaptors, such as ESCON or FDDI, which are fiber
optic based and use lasers.
Laser Compliance
All lasers are certified in the U.S. to conform to the requirements of DHHS 21 CFR Subchapter J for class
1 laser products. Outside the U.S., they are certified to be in compliance with the IEC 825 (first edition
1984) as a class 1 laser product. Consult the label on each part for laser certification numbers and
approval information.
