Safety Notice for United Kingdom
The network adapter interfaces housed within the IBM 8265 Nways ATM Switches are approved
separately, each one having its own independent approval number. These interface adapters, supplied by
IBM, do not use or contain excessive voltages. An excessive voltage is one that exceeds 42.4 V peak ac
or 60 Vdc. They interface with the IBM 8265 Nways ATM Switch using Safety Extra Low Voltages (SELV)
only. In order to maintain the separate (independent) approval of the IBM adapters, it is essential that
other optional cards, not supplied by IBM, do not use mains voltages or any other excessive voltages.
Seek advice from a competent engineer before installing other adapters not supplied by IBM.
