Safety notices and labels
When using this product, observe the danger, caution, and attention notices
contained in this guide. The notices are accompanied by symbols that represent the
severity of the safety condition. The danger and caution notices are listed in
numerical order based on their IDs, which are displayed in parentheses, for
example (D004), at the end of each notice. Use this ID to locate the translation of
these danger and caution notices in the IBM
®
eServer
™
Safety Notices
(G229–9054) publication, which is on the CD-ROM that accompanies this product.
See the following examples of danger and caution notices for the location of the ID
number.
Attention: Inspections, installations, and service procedures are for
trained service personnel only. While the typical operator does not have
access to the product to perform inspections, installations, or service, the
following comprehensive danger notice provides instructions on how to
avoid shock hazards when working with such equipment.
Danger notices
A danger notice calls attention to a situation that is potentially lethal or extremely
hazardous to people. A lightning bolt symbol accompanies a danger notice to
represent a dangerous electrical condition. A sample danger notice follows:
DANGER
An
electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place
hazardous voltage on metal parts of the system or the devices
that attach to the system. It is the responsibility of the customer
to ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and grounded to
prevent an electrical shock. (D004)
© Copyright IBM Corp. 2004 xi

DANGER
Electrical
voltage and current from power, telephone, and
communication cables are hazardous.
To avoid a shock hazard:
v Do not connect or disconnect any cables or perform
installation, maintenance, or reconfiguration of this product
during an electrical storm.
v Connect all power cords to a properly wired and grounded
electrical outlet. Ensure outlet supplies proper voltage and
phase rotation according to the system rating plate.
v Connect any equipment that will be attached to this product to
properly wired outlets.
v When possible, use one hand only to connect or disconnect
signal cables.
v Never turn on any equipment when there is evidence of fire,
water, or structural damage.
v Disconnect the attached power cords, telecommunications
systems, networks, and modems before you open the device
covers, unless instructed otherwise in the installation and
configuration procedures.
v Connect and disconnect cables as described below when
installing, moving, or opening covers on this product or
attached devices.
To
Disconnect:
1. Turn everything OFF (unless instructed otherwise).
2. Remove power cords from the outlet.
3. Remove signal cables from connectors.
4. Remove all cables from devices.
To
Connect:
1. Turn everything OFF (unless instructed otherwise).
2. Attach all cables to devices.
3. Attach signal cables to connectors.
4. Attach power cords to outlet.
5. Turn device ON.

Labels
As an added precaution, safety labels are often installed directly on products or
product components to warn of potential hazards.
The actual product safety labels may differ from these sample safety labels:
SJ000323
>240 V~
DANGER
Hazardous
voltage, current, or energy levels are present
inside any component that has this label attached.
(L001)
Do not service, there are no serviceable parts.
SJ000325
PN 18P4036
> 240 V~
PSU1 PSU2
DANGER
Multiple
power cords (L003)
To remove all power to the device, disconnect all power cords.
Caution notices
A caution notice calls attention to a situation that is potentially hazardous to people
because of some existing condition. A caution notice can be accompanied by
different symbols, as in the examples below:
If the symbol is... It means....
A hazardous electrical condition with less severity than
electrical danger.
A generally hazardous condition not represented by other
safety symbols.
A hazardous condition due to the use of a laser in the
product. Laser symbols are always accompanied by the
classification of the laser as defined by the U. S.
Department of Health and Human Services (for example,
Class I, Class II, and so forth).
Sample caution notices:
CAUTION:
This product is equipped with a 3–wire (two conductors and
ground) power cable and plug. Use this power cable with a properly
grounded electrical outlet to avoid electrical shock. (C018)
Safety and environmental notices xiii

CAUTION:
This product contains a Class 1M laser. Do not view directly with
optical instruments. (C028)
Attention notices
An attention notice indicates the possibility of damage to a program, device, or
system, or to data. An exclamation point symbol may accompany an attention
notice, but is not required. A sample attention notice follows:
Attention: Diagnostic tests can temporarily lock the transmit and
receive speed of the links during diagnostic testing.
Safety inspections, installations, and service
Attention: A typical operator does not have access to the product to
perform inspections, installations, or service. Detailed safety instructions
for installation, inspection, and service are located in the specific
installation and service guides. The procedures contained in those
publications are for trained service personnel only.
Laser safety
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.
CAUTION:
This product contains a Class 1M laser. Do not view directly with
optical instruments. (C028)
Attention: In the United States, use only SFP or GBIC optical transceivers that
comply with the FDA radiation performance standards, 21 CFR Subchapter J.
Internationally, use only SFP or GBIC optical transceivers that comply with IEC
standard 825–1. Optical products that do not comply with these standards may
product light that is hazardous to the eyes.
Usage restrictions
The optical ports of the modules must be terminated with an optical connector or
with a dust plug.

Environmental notices and statements
This section describes the environmental notices and statements.
Battery notice
CAUTION:
Only trained service personnel may replace this battery. The battery
contains lithium. To avoid possible explosion, do not burn or charge
the battery.
Do Not:
v Throw or immerse into water
v Heat to more than 100°C (212°F)
v Repair or disassemble
Exchange
only with the IBM-approved part. Recycle or discard the
battery as instructed by local regulations. In the United States, IBM
has a process for the collection of this battery. For information, call
1-800-426-4333. Have the IBM part number for the battery unit
available when you call. (C003)
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.
