Safety and environmental notices
Safety notices may be printed throughout this guide:
vDANGER notices call attention to a situation that is potentially lethal or extremely hazardous to
people.
vCAUTION notices call attention to a situation that is potentially hazardous to people because of some
existing condition.
vAttention notices call attention to the possibility of damage to a program, device, system, or data.
World Trade safety 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 U.S. English source. Before using a U.S. English publication
to install, operate, or service this 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 U.S. English publications.
Laser safety information
IBM®System i®models and System p®servers can use I/O cards or features that are fiber-optic based
and that 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 IEC 60825 as a class 1 laser
product. Consult the label on each part for laser certification numbers and approval information.
CAUTION:
This product might contain one or more of the following devices: CD-ROM drive, DVD-ROM drive,
DVD-RAM drive, or laser module, which are Class 1 laser products. Note the following information:
vDo not remove the covers. Removing the covers of the laser product could result in exposure to
hazardous laser radiation. There are no serviceable parts inside the device.
vUse of the controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein
might result in hazardous radiation exposure.
(C026)
CAUTION:
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. (C027)
CAUTION:
This product contains a Class 1M laser. Do not view directly with optical instruments. (C028)
CAUTION:
Some laser products contain an embedded Class 3A or Class 3B laser diode. Note the following
information: laser radiation when open. Do not stare into the beam, do not view directly with optical
instruments, and avoid direct exposure to the beam. (C030)

Power and cabling information for NEBS (Network Equipment-Building System)
GR-1089-CORE
The following comments apply to the IBM System i models and IBM System p servers that have been
designated as conforming to NEBS (Network Equipment-Building System) GR-1089-CORE:
The equipment is suitable for installation in the following:
vNetwork telecommunications facilities
vLocations where the NEC (National Electrical Code) applies
The intrabuilding ports of this equipment are suitable for connection to intrabuilding or unexposed
wiring or cabling only. The intrabuilding ports of this equipment must not be metallically connected to the
interfaces that connect to the OSP (outside plant) or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as
intrabuilding interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE) and require isolation
from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of primary protectors is not sufficient protection to connect
these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.
Note: All Ethernet cables must be shielded and grounded at both ends.
The ac-powered system does not require the use of an external surge protection device (SPD).
The dc-powered system employs an isolated DC return (DC-I) design. The DC battery return terminal
shall not be connected to the chassis or frame ground.
Product recycling and disposal
This unit must be recycled or discarded according to applicable local and national regulations. IBM
encourages owners of information technology (IT) equipment to responsibly recycle their equipment
when it is no longer needed. IBM offers a variety of product return programs and services in several
countries to assist equipment owners in recycling their IT products. Information on IBM product
recycling offerings can be found on IBM’s Internet site at http://www.ibm.com/ibm/environment/
products/prp.shtml.
Esta unidad debe reciclarse o desecharse de acuerdo con lo establecido en la normativa nacional o local
aplicable. IBM recomienda a los propietarios de equipos de tecnología de la información (TI) que reciclen
responsablemente sus equipos cuando éstos ya no les sean útiles. IBM dispone de una serie de programas
y servicios de devolución de productos en varios países, a fin de ayudar a los propietarios de equipos a
reciclar sus productos de TI. Se puede encontrar información sobre las ofertas de reciclado de productos
de IBM en el sitio web de IBM http://www.ibm.com/ibm/environment/products/prp.shtml.
Note: This mark applies only to countries within the European Union (EU) and Norway.
Appliances are labeled in accordance with European Directive 2002/96/EC concerning waste electrical
and electronic equipment (WEEE). The Directive determines the framework for the return and recycling
of used appliances as applicable throughout the European Union. This label is applied to various
products to indicate that the product is not to be thrown away, but rather reclaimed upon end of life per
this Directive.
vi System i and System p: Cabling your server

In accordance with the European WEEE Directive, electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) is to be
collected separately and to be reused, recycled, or recovered at end of life. Users of EEE with the WEEE
marking per Annex IV of the WEEE Directive, as shown above, must not dispose of end of life EEE as
unsorted municipal waste, but use the collection framework available to customers for the return,
recycling, and recovery of WEEE. Customer participation is important to minimize any potential effects of
EEE on the environment and human health due to the potential presence of hazardous substances in EEE.
For proper collection and treatment, contact your local IBM representative.
Battery return program
This product may contain sealed lead acid, nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride, lithium, or lithium ion
battery. Consult your user manual or service manual for specific battery information. The battery must be
recycled or disposed of properly. Recycling facilities may not be available in your area. For information
on disposal of batteries outside the United States, go to http://www.ibm.com/ibm/environment/
products/batteryrecycle.shtml or contact your local waste disposal facility.
In the United States, IBM has established a return process for reuse, recycling, or proper disposal of used
IBM sealed lead acid, nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride, and other battery packs from IBM
Equipment. For information on proper disposal of these batteries, contact IBM at 1-800-426-4333. Please
have the IBM part number listed on the battery available prior to your call.
For Taiwan: Please recycle batteries.
For the European Union:
Note: This mark applies only to countries within the European Union (EU).
Batteries or packaging for batteries are labeled in accordance with European Directive 2006/66/EC
concerning batteries and accumulators and waste batteries and accumulators. The Directive determines
the framework for the return and recycling of used batteries and accumulators as applicable throughout
the European Union. This label is applied to various batteries to indicate that the battery is not to be
thrown away, but rather reclaimed upon end of life per this Directive.
In accordance with the European Directive 2006/66/EC, batteries and accumulators are labeled to
indicate that they are to be collected separately and recycled at end of life. The label on the battery may
also include a chemical symbol for the metal concerned in the battery (Pb for lead, Hg for mercury and
Cd for cadmium). Users of batteries and accumulators must not dispose of batteries and accumulators as
unsorted municipal waste, but use the collection framework available to customers for the return,
recycling, and treatment of batteries and accumulators. Customer participation is important to minimize
any potential effects of batteries and accumulators on the environment and human health due to the
potential presence of hazardous substances. For proper collection and treatment, contact your local IBM
representative.
