warning

Read the following safety information thoroughly before installing Extreme Networks products. Failure to follow this safety information can lead to personal injury or damage to the equipment.

Only trained and qualified service personnel (as defined in IEC 60950-1 and AS/NZS 3260) should install, replace, or perform service to Extreme Networks switches and their components. Qualified personnel have read all related installation manuals, have the technical training and experience necessary to be aware of the hazards to which they are exposed in performing a task, and are aware of measures to minimize the danger to themselves or other persons.

Fiber Optic Ports and Optical Safety

The following safety warnings apply to all optical devices used in Extreme Networks equipment that are removable or directly installed in an I/O module or chassis system. These devices include, but are not limited to, gigabit interface converters (GBICs); SFP optical modules (mini-GBICs) and SFP+ optical modules; QSFP+ optical modules; XENPAK transceivers; and XFP laser optic modules

Warning

Laser optic modules become very hot after prolonged use. Take care when removing a laser optic module from the chassis or option card. If the laser optic module is too hot to touch, disengage the laser optic module and allow it to cool before removing it completely.

When working with laser optic modules, always take the precautions listed below to prevent exposure to hazardous radiation:

•Never look at the transmit LED/laser through a magnifying device while it is powered on.

•Never look directly at a fiber port on the switch or at the ends of a fiber cable when they are powered on.

•Invisible laser radiation can occur when the connectors are open. Avoid direct eye exposure to the beam when optical connections are unplugged.

•Never alter, modify, or change an optical device in any way other than suggested in this document.
