•
Required number of supported Brocade-branded transceivers
For current information on qualified transceivers supported by this device, refer to the Brocade Transceiver Support

DANGER
Use only optical transceivers that are qualified by Broadcom and comply with the FDA Class 1 radiation
performance requirements defined in 21 CFR Subchapter I, and with IEC 60825 and EN60825. Optical
products that do not comply with these standards might emit light that is hazardous to the eyes.

NOTE
Many Brocade switches, backbones, and directors come with a transceiver extraction tool and holster. The
extraction tool is designed to remove transceivers from modules where the space is limited. If you did not
receive this tool with your product, you can order it from Broadcom using part number XBR-48000-R0129.
