Safety and environmental notices
Safety notices are printed throughout this document.
Adanger notice indicates the presence of a hazard that has the potential of causing
death or serious personal injury.
Acaution notice indicates the presence of a hazard that has the potential of causing
moderate or minor personal injury.
An attention notice indicates the possibility of damage to a program, device,
system, or data.
For translations of danger notices and caution notices, see Appendix C, “Danger
and caution notice translations”, on page 27. The notices are listed in numeric order
based on their IDs, which are displayed in parentheses at the end of each notice.
See the following examples of danger notices and caution notices for the location of
the ID numbers.
DANGER
To prevent possible electrical shock during an electrical storm, do not
connect or disconnect cables or station protectors for communications
lines, display stations, printers, or telephones. (1)
CAUTION:
A lithium battery can cause fire, explosion, or a severe burn. Do not recharge,
disassemble, heat above 100°C (212°F), solder directly to the cell, incinerate,
or expose cell contents to water. Keep away from children. Replace only with
the part number specified for your system. Use of another battery may
present a risk of fire or explosion. The battery connector is polarized; do not
attempt to reverse the polarity. Dispose of the battery according to local
regulations. (1)
Safety label checks
Perform the following safety label checks:
1. Verify that the safety label shown in Figure 1 on page xii is installed on the 2109
Model M12.
© Copyright IBM Corp. 2002, 2003 xi

2. Verify that the linecord safety label shown in Figure 2 is installed on the power
supply of the 2109 Model M12.
CAUTION:
This unit may have two linecords. To remove all power, disconnect both
linecords. (1)
3. Verify that the SFP label shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 on page xiii is installed
on the 2109 Model M12.

Environmental notices and statements
This section describes the environmental notices and statements.
Laser safety
This unit might contain a single-mode or a multimode transceiver Class 1 laser
product. The transceiver complies with IEC 825-1 and FDA 21 CFR 1040.10 and
1040.11. The transceiver must be operated under the recommended operating
conditions.
This equipment contains Class 1 laser products, and complies with FDA radiation
Performance Standards, 21 CFR Subchapter J and the international laser safety
standard IEC 825-2.
Usage restrictions
The optical ports of the modules must be terminated with an optical connector or
with a dust plug.
SJ000314
Figure 4. SFP label (back view)
SJ000327
In the United States use only GBIC units or Fibre-Optic products that
comply with FDA radiation performance standards, 21 CFR Subchapter J.
Internationally use only GBIC units or Fibre-Optic products that comply
with IEC standard 825-1. Optical products that do not comply with these
standards may produce light that is hazardous to the eyes.
CAUTION:
Safety and environmental notices xiii

Battery notice
CAUTION:
A lithium battery can cause fire, explosion, or a severe burn. Do not recharge,
disassemble, heat above 100°C (212°F), solder directly to the cell, incinerate,
or expose cell contents to water. Keep away from children. Replace only with
the part number specified for your system. Use of another battery may
present a risk of fire or explosion. The battery connector is polarized; do not
attempt to reverse the polarity. Dispose of the battery according to local
regulations. (3)
Fire suppression systems
A fire suppression system is the responsibility of the customer. The customer’s own
insurance underwriter, local fire marshal, or a local building inspector, or both,
should be consulted in selecting a fire suppression system that provides the correct
level of coverage and protection. IBM designs and manufactures equipment to
internal and external standards that require certain environments for reliable
operation. Because IBM does not test any equipment for compatibility with fire
suppression systems, IBM does not make compatibility claims of any kind nor does
IBM provide recommendations on fire suppression systems.
Product recycling
This unit contains recyclable materials. These materials should be recycled where
processing sites are available and according to local regulations. In some areas,
IBM provides a product take-back program that ensures proper handling of the
product. Contact your IBM representative for more information.
Product disposal
This unit might contain batteries. Remove and discard these batteries, or recycle
them, according to local regulations.
