FCC EMC Statement (USA)
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses,
and can radiate radio frequency energy, and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction
manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to correct the
interference at his own expense. The end userof this product should be aware that any changes or
modifications made to this equipment without the approval ofVicom Systems could result in the product not
meeting the Class A limits, in which case the FCC could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
The device certification tests were conducted with generically available computer systems and shielded
cables, such as those you received with your product. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by
Vicom Systems could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
Cables used with this device must be properly shielded to comply with the requirements of the FCC.
IEC EMC Statement (Worldwide)
This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment, this product may cause radio interference, in which
case the user may be required to take adequate measures.
EMC Statement (Canada)
This Class A digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment
Regulations.
Cet appareil numérique de la Classe A respecte toutes les exigences du Règlement sur le matériel brouilleur
du Canada.
Spécification ATI Classe A (France)
DECLARATION D'INSTALLATION ET DE MISE EN EXPLOITATION d'un matériel de traitement de
l'information (ATI), classé A en fonction des niveaux de perturbations radioélectriques émis, définis dans la
norme européenne EN 55022 concernant la Compatibilité Electromagnétique.

Laser Safety
A. Certification and Classification Information
This product contains a laser internal to the Gigabit Interface Controller (GBIC) for connection to the Fibre
Channel communications port.
In the USA, the GBIC is certified as a Class 1 laser product conforming to the requirements contained in the
Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) regulation 21 CFR, Subchapter J. The certification is
indicated by a label on the GBIC housing.
Outside the USA, the GBIC is certified as a Class 1 laser product conforming to the requirements contained
in IEC 825-1:1993 and EN 60825-1:1994, including Amendment 11:1996.
The GBIC includes the following certifications:
• UL Recognized Component (USA).
• CSA Certified Component (Canada).
• TUV Certified Component (European Union).
• CB Certificate (Worldwide).
B. Product Information
Each Fibre Channel port optionally contains a transmitter and receiver optical subassembly (optical link
module). The transmitter subassembly contains internally a semiconductor laser diode in the wavelength
range of 850 to 1300 nanometers. In the event of a break anywhere in the fibre path, the GBIC control system
prevents laser emissions from exceeding Class 1 levels.
Class 1 laser products are not considered hazardous.
C. Usage Restrictions
Failure to comply with these usage restrictions may result in incorrect operation of the system, and pointsof
access may emit laser radiation above Class 1 limits established by the IEC and the U.S. DHHS.
WARNING: In the United States, use only GBIC units or fiber-optic products that comply
with FDA radiation performance standards, 21 CFR Subchapter J. Internationally, use only
GBIC units or fiber-optic products thatcomply with IEC standard 825-1. Opticalproducts that
do not comply with these standards may produce light that is hazardous to the eyes.
WARNING: There are no user maintenance or service operations oradjustments to be
performed on any GBIC model.

Electrical Safety Notices
WARNING: An electrical outlet that is not wired correctly couldplace hazardousvoltage on
metal parts of the system or the products that attach to the system. Verify thatthe wiring
and grounding of the electrical outlets you use have been checked by a licensed
electrician.
WARNING: The enclosure should be opened onlyby authorized service personnel.Internal
to the enclosure are exposed areas ofhigh voltage and sensitive components. Incorrect
handling of internal components may cause harmful electric shock and/ordamage to the
unit. Any attempt by non-authorized personnel to openthe product’s enclosure may, at the
discretion of Vicom Systems, void the warranty.
IMPORTANT: The user also should ensure thatonly “harmonized” (for EMEA) power cords
are used with the equipment.
