Warning Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into beams or
view directly with optical instruments. Statement 1051

Caution
Protect the SFP or SFP+ modules by inserting clean dust covers into them after the cables are removed. Be
sure to clean the optic surfaces of the fiber cables before you plug them back into the optical ports of another
module. Avoid getting dust and other contaminants into the optical ports of your SFP or SFP+ modules,
because the optics do not work correctly when obstructed by dust.
