Safety notices may be printed throughout this guide. DANGER notices warn you of
conditions or procedures that can result in death or severe personal injury.

injury that is neither lethal nor extremely hazardous. Attention notices warn you of
conditions or procedures that can cause damage to machines, equipment, or
programs.
There are no DANGER notices in this manual.
World Trade Information
Several countries require the safety information contained in product publications to
be presented in their national languages. If this requirement applies to your country,
a safety information booklet is included in the publications package shipped with the
product. The booklet contains the safety information in your national language with
references to the US English source. Before using a US English publication to
install, operate, or service this IBM product, you must first become familiar with the
related safety information in the booklet. You should also refer to the booklet any
time you do not clearly understand any safety information in the US English
publications.
Laser Safety Information
All zSeries models can use I/O cards such as PCI adapters, ESCON, FICON,
OSA-Express, InterSystem Coupling-3 (ISC-3), or other I/O features which are fiber
optic based and utilize lasers or LEDs.
Laser Compliance
All lasers are certified in the U.S. to conform to the requirements of DHHS 21 CFR
Subchapter J for class 1 laser products. Outside the U.S., they are certified to be in
compliance with the IEC 825 (first edition 1984) as a class 1 laser product. Consult
the label on each part for laser certification numbers and approval information.
CAUTION:
All IBM laser modules are designed so that there is never any human access
to laser radiation above a class 1 level during normal operation, user
maintenance, or prescribed service conditions. Data processing environments
can contain equipment transmitting on system links with laser modules that
operate at greater than class 1 power levels. For this reason, never look into
the end of an optical fiber cable or open receptacle. Only trained service
personnel should perform the inspection or repair of optical fiber cable
assemblies and receptacles.
