12 Safety Precautions
For 1000Base-LX/SX adapters observe the following:
The laser components on the network adapter are Class 1 laser components. Class 1 lasers are
considered incapable of producing damaging radiation levels during normal operation or mainte-
nance and is, therefore, determined to be eye safe.
To avoid damaging your eyes and to continue safe operation in case of abnormal circumstances:
• Never look directly into the outlets of fiber-optic cables or fiber-optic transmission components
with unprotected eyes!
• Never allow fiber-optic transmission paths to operate until all the connections have been made.
• Always fit protective plugs to any unused ports on the switch or the network adapter.
In general, observe the following:
• Never use force when working with the network adapter or the PCI Express resp. PCI/PCI-X
bus.
• Do not allow anyone else to touch the network adapter.
• Avoid unnecessary movement since this can increase electrostatic charge.
Laser light!
Laser light from fiber-optic transmission cables and components can damage your eyes.
Radiation!
The use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein
may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
