Laser safety

When equipped with native Fibre Channel adapters, this product contains a laser
internal to the Optical Link Module (OLM) contained on the 8-port Fibre Channel
Adapter board and 8-port FICON board, and on the 16-port Fibre Channel Adapter
board and 16-port FICON board for connection to a fibre communications network.
In the USA, the OLM is certified as a Class 1 laser product conforming to the PRT
requirements contained in the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS)
regulation 21 CFR, Subchapter J. The certification is indicated by a label on the plastic
OLM housing. Outside the USA, the OLM is certified as a Class 1 laser product
conforming to the requirements contained in IEC 825-1:1993 and EN 60825-1:1994,
including Amendment 11:1996.
The following figure shows the Class 1 information label that appears on the plastic
housing of the OLM.
CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT
Complies with
21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11
Each communications port consists of a transmitter and receiver optical subassembly.
The transmitter subassembly contains an internal semiconductor laser diode in the
wavelength range of 770 to 850 nanometers. In the event of a break anywhere in the
fibre path, the OLM control system prevents laser emissions from exceeding Class 1
levels. Class 1 laser products are not considered hazardous.
WARNING!
There are no user maintenance operations, service operations, or adjustments to be
performed on the Optical Link Module.
