Product Information
General Safety
The IBM 8265 Nways ATM Switch complies with the following safety standards or
their updated versions:
Industry Safety Standards
Safety Notice for United Kingdom
The network adapter interfaces housed within the IBM 8265 Nways ATM Switch 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 V dc. 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.
