Safety
This product meets IBM* safety standards.
For more information, see the Safety Information, GA33-0400.
Safety Notices for United Kingdom
1. The IBM 3746 Nways Multiprotocol Controller Model 900 is manufactured
according to the International Safety Standard EN 60950 and as such is
approved in the UK under the General Approval Number NS/G/1234/J/100003
for indirect connection to the public telecommunication network.
2. The network adapter interfaces housed within the IBM 3746 Nways
Multiprotocol Controller Model 900 are approved separately, each one having
its own independent approval number. These interface adapters, supplied by
IBM, do not use or contain excessive voltages. An excessive voltage is one
that exceeds 42.4 V peak ac or 60 V dc. They interface with the IBM 3746
Nways Multiprotocol Controller Model 900 using Safety Extra Low Voltages
(SELV) only. In order to maintain the separate (independent) approval of the
IBM adapters, it is essential that other optional cards, not supplied by IBM, do
not use mains voltages or any other excessive voltages. Seek advice from a
competent engineer before installing other adapters not supplied by IBM.
