Safety and Environmental Notices
Danger Notices
A danger notice calls attention to a situation that is potentially lethal or extremely
hazardous to people.
DANGER
To prevent a possible electrical shock during an electrical storm, do not
connect or disconnect cables or station protectors for communications lines,
display stations, printers, or telephones. (RSFTD003)
DANGER
To prevent a possible electrical shock from touching two surfaces with
different electrical grounds, use one hand, when possible, to connect or
disconnect signal cables. (RSFTD004)
DANGER
An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage
on metal parts of the system or the products that attach to the system. It is the
customer’s responsibility to ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and
grounded to prevent an electrical shock. (RSFTD201)
DANGER
To prevent a possible electrical shock when adding or removing any devices
to or from the system, ensure that the power cords for those devices are
unplugged before the signal cables are connected or disconnected. If possible,
disconnect all power cords from the existing system before you add or
remove a device. (RSFTD203)
Caution Notices
A caution notice calls attention to a situation that is potentially hazardous to
people because of some existing condition.
CAUTION:
Telecommunications Statement: This unit contains over-voltage circuits between
the ac power outlet and the unit. These circuits meet the standard limits
described in International Electrical Commission (IEC) 664, installation category
II. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that the power outlet meets the
standards of IEC 664, installation category II. (RSFTC214)
Laser Safety Information
CAUTION:
This product may contain a CD-ROM which is a class 1 laser product.

Product Recycling and Disposal
Components of the system, such as structural parts and circuit cards, can be
recycled where recycling facilities exist. IBM does not currently collect and recycle
used IBM products from customers in the United States other than those products
that are involved in trade-in programs. Companies are available to disassemble,
reutilize, recycle, or dispose of electronic products. Contact an IBM account
representative for more information.
The system unit contains batteries and circuit boards with lead solder. Before you
dispose of this unit, these batteries and circuit boards must be removed and
discarded according to local regulations or recycled where facilities exist. This book
contains specific information on each battery type where applicable.
Battery Return Program
In the United States, IBM has established a collection process for reuse, recycling,
or proper disposal of used IBM batteries and battery packs. For information on
proper disposal of the batteries in this unit, please contact IBM at 1-800-426-4333.
Please have the IBM part number that is listed on the battery available when you
make your call. For information on battery disposal outside the United States,
contact your local waste disposal facility.
Environmental Design
The environmental efforts that have gone into the design of the system signify
IBM’s commitment to improve the quality of its products and processes. Some of
these accomplishments include the elimination of the use of Class I
ozone-depleting chemicals in the manufacturing process, reductions in
manufacturing wastes, and increased product energy efficiency. For more
information, contact an IBM account representative.

To prevent a possible electrical shock from touching two surfaces with
different electrical grounds, use one hand, when possible, to connect or
disconnect signal cables. (RSFTD004)
Port 0 is the left connector, and port 1 is the right connector on the 2745
card.
Port 0 is required for Operations Console support. Port 1 is required for
electronic customer support, if you have it.
If you have a cable connected to port 0 (left connector), disconnect the
cable. If the cable is an electronic customer support cable, connect it to port
1 (right connector) on the same 2745 card.
Notes:
a. You might have a communications cable already connected to port 1
(right connector). Disconnect the communications cable, to make port 1
available for the electronic customer support cable. Reconnect the
communications cable to a port on a different 2745 card.
b. Label all cables with the correct card slot and port (for example, C06/port
0).
