Safety Information
Class 1 Laser Transceivers
The single mode interface modules use Class 1 laser transceivers.
Read the following safety information before installing or operating these modules.
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.
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.
Safety Compliance
Warning: Fiber Optic Port Safety
Avertissment: Ports pour fibres optiques - sécurité sur le plan optique
Warnhinweis: Faseroptikanschlüsse - Optische Sicherheit
When using a fiber optic media expansion module, never look at the transmit laser
while it is powered on. Also, never look directly at the fiber TX port and fiber cable
ends when they are powered on.
Ne regardez jamais le laser tant qu’il est sous tension. Ne regardez jamais
directement le port TX (Tramsmission) à fibres optiques et les embouts de câbles à
fibres optiques tant qu’ils sont sous tension.
Niemals ein Übertragungslaser betrachten, während dieses eingeschaltet ist.
Niemals direkt auf den Faser-TX-Anschluß und auf die Faserkabelenden schauen,
während diese eingeschaltet sind.

unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render illegal or unenforceable such provision in any other
jurisdiction.
14. TERMINATION. Enterasys may terminate this Agreement immediately upon Your breach of any of the terms and
conditions of this Agreement. Upon any such termination, You shall immediately cease all use of the Program and shall return

Enterasys S-Series Option Module Hardware Installation Guide 1-1

Introduction
Option Module Types and Compatibility
Many S-Series I/O fabric modules and I/O modules can be expanded by installing S-Series option
modules in their option module slots. Two types of S-Series option modules are available:
• Type 1 — The option module has one 20Gb connector for connecting to an S-Series module’s
motherboard.
• Type 2 —The option module has two 20Gb connectors for connecting to an S-Series module’s
motherboard.
To ensure that your S-Series option module is compatible with an S-Series I/O fabric module or I/O
module, refer to Table 1-1.
For a complete list of the available S-Series I/O modules and I/O fabric modules and their
compatibility with S-Series option modules, refer to the S-Series datasheet at
http://www.enterasys.com/products.

Option Module Port Options
1-2 Introduction
Option Module Port Options
S-Series option modules are available with the following port options:
• 10/100/1000BASE-TX RJ45 ports
• 1000BASE-X SFP ports
• 10GBASE-X SFP+ ports
IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at Power over Ethernet (PoE) are supported on the 10/100/1000BASE-TX
RJ45 ports.
Power over Ethernet
S-Series option modules with 10/100/1000BASE-TX RJ45 ports support both IEEE 802.3af and
802.3at Power over Ethernet (PoE) standards. Ensure that your configuration meets the following
criteria to supply PoE power to the 10/100/1000BASE-TX RJ45 ports on the S-Series option
modules:
• Your S-Series chassis has a PoE subsystem, with S-POE-PS power supplies, installed.
• You have installed the PoE-capable S-Series option module in a PoE-capable S-Series I/O fabric
module or I/O module. If a PoE-capable S-Series option module is installed in an S-Series I/O
fabric module or I/O module with SFP or SFP+ ports, the 10/100/1000BASE-TX RJ45 ports of
the option module will not function as PoE ports.
Depending on your PoE power supply configuration, the S-Series chassis can supply PoE power to
powered devices on all 10/100/1000BASE-TX RJ45 ports simultaneously.
The red PoE button on the left of the S-Series modules switches the RJ45 port LEDs to report PoE
information.
Management
You can manage the S-Series modules in which the S-Series option modules are installed either in-
band or out-of-band. In-band remote management is possible using the Enterasys Networks’
NetSight®management application or the command line interface (CLI) via Telnet. Out-of-band
management is provided through the RJ45 COM (Communication) port on the front panel of the
S-Series chassis using a PC, a VT terminal, or a VT terminal emulator.
