Handling, safety, and environmental guidelines

Before installing your GBIC, read the following handling, safety, and environmental guidelines:

•GBICs are static sensitive. To prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD), follow your normal board and component handling procedures.

•GBICs are dust sensitive. When you store a GBIC, or when you disconnect it from a fiber optic cable, always keep the dust cover over the GBIC’s optical bores.

•To clean contaminants from the optical bores of a GBIC, use an alcohol swab or equivalent to clean the ferrules of the optical connector.

•Dispose of this product according to all national laws and regulations.

Warning: Fiber optic equipment can emit laser or infrared light that can injure your eyes. Never look into an optical fiber or connector port. Always assume that fiber optic cables are connected to a light source.
