Laser Precautions

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury from laser radiation or damage to the equipment, observe the following precautions:

Allow only Compaq Authorized Service Technicians to repair the equipment.

Do not open any panels, operate controls, make adjustments, or perform procedures to a laser device other than those specified herein.

Do not stare into laser beam when panels are open.

SFP and Fibre Channel Cable Connector Cleaning Considerations

Optics are susceptible to anything that hinders light transmission. Consequently, manufacturers of both 2-Gb Small Form Factor Pluggable Transceiver modules (SFP) and Fibre Channel Cable Connectors provide dust covers to protect the optical areas and ensure optical signal integrity for initial system configuration. If the fiber optic interconnects are disengaged, the optical tips can be soiled by human touch, damaged from dropping, or simply collect dust debris when exposed to the open air for extended time periods. A contaminated optic tip may not be visible to the naked eye and could potentially degrade performance of your system.
