Safety
Safety notices
Safety notices may be printed throughout this guide. DANGER notices warn you of
conditions or procedures that can result in death or severe personal injury.
CAUTION notices warn you of conditions or procedures that can cause personal
injury that is neither lethal nor extremely hazardous. Attention notices warn you of
conditions or procedures that can cause damage to machines, equipment, or
programs.
There are no DANGER notices in this manual.
World trade information
Several countries require the safety information contained in product publications to
be presented in their translation. 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 translated safety information with references to the US
English source. Before using a US English publication to install, operate, or service
this IBM®product, you must first become familiar with the related safety information
in the Systems Safety Notices, G229-9054. You should also refer to the booklet any
time you do not clearly understand any safety information in the US English
publications.
Laser safety information
All System z®models can use I/O cards such as PCI adapters, ESCON®, FICON®,
Open Systems Adapter (OSA), InterSystem Coupling-3 (ISC-3), or other I/O
features which are fiber optic based and 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:
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)
