  • Page 8 SAFETY INFORMATION CLASS 1 LASER TRANSCEIVERS The single mode interface modules use Class 1 laser transceivers. Read the following safety information before installing or operating these modules. The Class 1 laser transceivers use an optical feedback loop to maintain Class 1 operation limits. This control  loop eliminates the need for maintenance checks or adjustments. The output is factory set, and does not allow  any user adjustment. Class 1 Laser transceivers comply with the following safety standards: • 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (FDA). • IEC Publication 825 (International Electrotechnical Commission). • CENELEC EN 60825 (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization). When operating within their performance limitations, laser transceiver output meets the Class 1 accessible  emission limit of all three standards. Class 1 levels of laser radiation are not considered hazardous. When the connector is in place, all laser radiation remains within the fiber. The maximum amount of radiant  ‐6 power exiting the fiber (under normal conditions) is ‐12.6 dBm or 55 x 10  watts.

    OVERVIEW OF DFE SERIES CAPABILITIES The Platinum Distributed Forwarding Engine (DFE) is Enterasys Networks’ next generation of enterprise modules for the Matrix N-Series and Matrix E7 switches. These DFE modules deliver high performance and flexibility to ensure comprehensive switching, routing, Quality of Service, security, and traffic containment.

    7G4270-12, 7G4202-30, and 7H4203-72 (Figure 1-2). For information about features of the DFE modules and how to configure them, refer to the Enterasys Matrix DFE-Platinum Series Configuration Guide. 7H4382-49 The 7H4382-49 DFE module has 48, 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX compliant ports, via fixed front panel RJ45 connectors and a slot for an optional network expansion module (NEM).
  • Page 27 The DFE Modules The DFE module ports can be configured to control traffic by limiting the rate of traffic accepted into the module and prioritizing traffic to expedite the flow of higher priority traffic through the module. The DFE module receives power and backplane connectivity when it is inserted into the Matrix E7, Matrix N7, Matrix N5, Matrix N3, or Matrix N1 chassis.

    Aggregation. The default values will result in the maximum number of aggregations possible. If the switch is placed in a configuration with its peers not running the protocol, no aggregations will be formed and the DFE modules will function normally (that is, Spanning Tree will block redundant paths).
