Safety Information

, order number SA23-2652.

Electrical Safety

Observe the following safety instructions any time you are connecting or disconnecting

devices attached to the system.

DANGER

An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage

on metal parts of the system or the devices that attach to the system. It is the

responsibility of the customer to ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and

grounded to prevent an electrical shock.

Use one hand, when possible, to connect or disconnect signal cables to

prevent a possible shock from touching two surfaces with different electrical

potentials.

During an electrical storm, do not connect cables for display stations, printers,

telephones, or station protectors for communications lines.

D06

CAUTION:

This product is equipped with a four-wire (three-phase and ground) power cable

for the user’s safety. Use this power cable with a properly grounded electrical

outlet to avoid electrical shock.

C27

DANGER

To prevent electrical shock hazard, disconnect all power cables from the

electrical outlet before relocating the system.

D01

Laser Safety Information

CAUTION:

This product may contain a CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, or laser module on a PCI card,

which are class 1 laser products.

C30

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.

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.
