CAUTION: Do not touch the receptacle or the receptacle faceplate with anything other than your test probes before you have met the requirements in step 8. CAUTION: If the reading is other than infinity, do not proceed! Have the customer make necessary wiring connections before continuing.
Consult the label on each part for laser certification numbers and/or 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 Integrity and Verification IBM computer systems contain mechanisms designed to reduce the possibility of undetected data corruption or loss. This risk, however, cannot be eliminated. Users who experience unplanned outages, system failures, power fluctuations or outages, or component failures must verify the accuracy of operations performed and data saved or transmitted by the system at or near the time of the outage or failure.
