SAFETY INFORMATION
CLASS 1 LASER TRANSCEIVERS
THE DELHG-UA/DELHL-UA GIGABIT ETHERNET MODULES USE
CLASS 1 LASER TRANSCEIVERS. READ THE FOLLOWING
SAFETY INFORMATION BEFORE INSTALLING OR OPERATING
THESE ADAPTERS.
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.
SAFETY INFORMATION
CLASS 1 LASER TRANSCEIVERS
LASER RADIATION AND CONNECTORS
When the connector is in place, all laser radiation remains within the fiber. The maximum amount of
radiant power exiting the fiber (under normal conditions) is -12.6 dBm or 55 x 10-6 watts.
Removing the optical connector from the transceiver allows laser radiation to emit directly from the
optical port. The maximum radiance from the optical port (under worst case conditions) is
0.8 W cm-2 or 8 x 103W m2sr-1.
Do not use optical instruments to view the laser output.The use of optical instruments to view
laser output increases eye hazard. When viewing the output optical port, power must be
removed from the network adapter.

DANGER
DELHG-UA et DELHL-UA utilisent des lasers
de classe 1. N'utilisez pas d'instruments
optiques pour visualiser la sortie laser, car ces
instruments augmentent les risques oculaires.
Pour visualiser le port optique, débrancher
l'adaptateur secteur.
AVISO
DELHG-UA y DELHL-UA utilizan láser de
clase 1. No utilice instrumentos ópticos para
ver la salida de láser. El uso de instrumentos
ópticos para ver la salida de láser aumenta el
riesgo para la vista. Siempre que mire a un
puerto óptico de salida, la alimentación
eléctrica debe estar desconectada del
adaptador de red.
CAUTION
The HSIM and the host module or hub are
sensitive to static discharges. Use an antistatic
wrist strap and observe all static precautions
during this procedure. Failure to do so could
result in damage to this equipment.
ACHTUNG
Der HSIM und das Host-Modul bzw. der Hub
sind für statische Entladungen empfindlich.
Benutzen Sie deshalb ein Antistatikarmband,
und beachten Sie während dieses Verfahrens
alle diesbezüglichen Vorsichtsmaßnahmen.
Bei Nichtbeachtung könnte das Gerät
beschädigt werden.
ATTENTION
L'appareil HSIM et le concentrateur ou le
module hôte sont sensibles à l'électricité
statique. Au cours de cette procédure, utilisez
des bracelets antistatiques et respectez toutes
les précautions relatives à l'électricité statique.
Si vous ne tenez pas compte de ces conseils,
vous risquez d'endommager cet équipement.
PRECAUCIÓN
HSIM y el hub o módulo de host es sensible a
la descarga estática. Utilice una banda
antiestática para la muñeca y observe todas
las precauciones sobre estática durante este
procedimiento. Si no se cumple con estos
requisitos, se puede dañar el equipo.

Safety Requirements
DELHG-UA/DELHL-UA User’s Guide xvii
CAUTION
When installing the DELHG-UA or DELHL-UA,
ensure that the HSIM pins on the module or
device align with the DELHG-UA or DELHL-UA
connector to prevent bending the pins. This
can damage the DELHG-UA and DELHL-UA
and the modules.
ACHTUNG
Stellen Sie sicher, daß die HSIM-Kontaktstifte
am Modul oder Gerät bei der Installation des
DELHG-UA oder DELHL-UA gerade am
DELHG-UA- oder DELHL-UA-Stecker
ausgerichtet sind und nicht gebogen werden.
Werden die Stecker schräg eingesetzt, könnte
das DELHG-UA- oder DELHL-UA-Modul
beschädigt werden.
ATTENTION
Lorsque vous installez le DELHG-UA ou le
DELHL-UA , assurez-vous que les broches
du/de la HSIM, situées sur le module ou le
périphérique s’adaptent correctement au
connecteur DELHG-UA ou DELHL-UA afin
d’éviter qu’elles ne se plient. Dans le cas
contraire, vous risquez d’endommager le
DELHG-UA et le DELHL-UA, ainsi que les
modules.
PRECAUCIÓN
Al instalar DELHG-UA o DELHL-UA,
asegúrese de que las patillas de HSIM del
módulo o el dispositivo estén alineadas con el
conector de DELHG-UA o DELHL-UA para
evitar que se doblen las patillas. Esto puede
dañar DELHG-UA y DELHL-UA y los módulos.
