IBM® servers can use I/O cards or features that are fiber-optic based and that utilize
lasers or LEDs.
Laser compliance
IBM servers may be installed inside or outside of an IT equipment rack.
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. Although shining light into
one end and looking into the other end of a disconnected optical fiber to verify the
continuity of optic fibers many not injure the eye, this procedure is potentially
dangerous. Therefore, verifying the continuity of optical fibers by shining light into one
end and looking at the other end is not recommended. To verify continuity of a fiber
optic cable, use an optical light source and power meter. (C027)

Notes:
[1] The power supplies automatically accept any voltage within the 200-240 V AC,
50/60 Hz rated-voltage range. If dual power supplies are installed and operating, the
power supplies draw approximately equal current from the utility (electrical supply) and
provide approximately equal current to the load.
[2] Power draw and heat load vary greatly by configuration and workload. When you
plan for an electrical system, it is important to use the maximum values but actual power
and cooling will be less.
