Laser Safety Information
The GigWorks 1062/16 MKII Switch may use Class 1 lasers to communicate
over the fiber optic conductors. The U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services (DHHS) does not consider Class 1 lasers to be hazardous. The
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) requires labeling information
that states that the lasers are Class 1. The following notices are given so you
understand the laser’s certification and classification, the laser type and their use
in the fiber optic transmitters, their usage restrictions, and labeling requirements.

Certification and Classification Information
The GigWorks 1062/16 MKII Switch may contain fiber optic interfaces known as
optical GigaBit Interface Converters (optical GBICs). Within each system, the
optical GBIC component assemblies are located on the front of the chassis. In the
U.S., all models of the optical GBIC product family are certified as Class 1 laser
products that conform 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 located on the plastic retainer of the optical GBIC
assembly. Outside of the U.S., all models of the optical GBIC product family are
certified as Class 1 laser component assemblies that conform to the requirements
contained in the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standard IEC
825-1 (11/1993) and the CENELEC (European Committee for Electrotechnical
Standardization) European Normalization standard EN 60825-1 (1994). The
German testing institute VDE assigned the regulation number 3642* to the
certificate of conformity for the product family. The VDE conformity mark is
also located on the plastic retainer of the optical GBIC assembly. The DHHS
conformity label and the VDE conformity mark may not be visible when the
optical GBIC is installed in the system level product. A drawing, later in this
section, shows the Class 1 information label required by IEC 825-1. On this
system, the label is located on the top of the chassis.

Another Class 1 information label is supplied with the equipment. This label is
installed by the user during the installation procedure. The user is to install the
label where it is clearly visible whenever access to the optical ports is possible.
