Laser Safety Notice - Lenovo ThinkServer LPe12000 Installation Manual

Laser Safety Notice

This laser safety information contains certification and product information covering laser products
known as optical small form factor transceivers incorporated in Emulex LightPulse host adapters. The
small form factor transceiver is the primary cable connection mechanism for any optical port on the host
adapter. This data is not intended to be a replacement for any safety regulations and standards; relevant
safety documents should always be consulted if necessary. Contact Emulex Corporation with any
questions or concerns about laser safety.
Certification and Classification
The LPe12000, LPe12002 and LPe12004 host adapters may contain one or more examples of a laser
product known as a small form factor transceiver. This transceiver provides the physical connection to
the optical cable, and its LC-style connector extends through the mounting bracket. In turn, the host
adapter can be inserted into any host system's appropriate PCIe expansion slot.
In the United States, all optical small form factor transceivers sold by Emulex are certified as Class 1
laser products that conform to the requirements contained in the Department of Health and Human
Services (DHHS) regulation 21 CFR subchapter J. The certification is indicated by a label located on the
optical small form factor transceiver.
In Europe, all optical small form factor transceivers sold by Emulex are certified as Class 1 laser
component assemblies that conform to the requirements contained in the CENELEC (European
Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization) standard EN60825-1:1994 (including amendment 11)
and EN60825-2:1994. Small form factor transceivers are certified by a recognized European testing
agency and have appropriate markings on the assembly. The DHHS conformity label and European
conformity mark will not be visible externally once the optical small form factor transceiver is connected
to or inserted in the host adapter and the adapter is installed into a system.
Labeling Requirements
No caution or danger labels are required for use of the small form factor transceiver since they are Class
1 laser component assembly. In the U.S., the only laser safety label required is the DHHS certification
label that already appears on the small form factor transceiver. In Europe, the EN60825-1/EN60825-2
