voltage on the 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. (1)
CAUTION:
This unit may have two linecords. To remove all power, disconnect both
linecords. (1)
Removing ac power
Perform the following steps to remove the alternating current (ac) power:
1. Perform a controlled system shutdown.
2. Set the power switch on the 2109 Model F16 to the off position.
3. Disconnect the power cable from the power source.

External machine checks
Perform the following external machine checks:
1. Verify that all external covers are present and are not damaged.
2. Ensure that all latches and hinges are in correct operating condition.
3. If the 2109 Model F16 is not installed in a rack cabinet, check for loose or
broken feet.
4. Check the power cable for damage.
5. Check the external signal cable for damage.
6. Check the cover for sharp edges, damage, or alterations that expose the
internal parts of the device.
Safety label checks
Perform the following safety label checks:
1. Verify that the safety label that Figure 1 shows is installed on the 2109 Model
F16.
2. Verify that the linecord safety label that Figure 2 on page xiii shows is installed
on the power supply of the 2109 Model F16.
CAUTION:
This unit may have two linecords. To remove all power, disconnect both
linecords. (1)

AC grounding
DANGER
An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place a hazardous
voltage on the 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. (1)
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
You must terminate the optical ports of the modules with an optical connector or
with a dust plug.
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,

Figure 2. Linecord caution label
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

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. You should recycle these materials 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.
