connector, or a laser transceiver module. Hazardous conditions might
exist from laser power levels that are capable of causing injury to the
eye.
Be especially careful when using optical instruments with this
equipment. Such instruments might increase the likelihood of eye injury.
The laser transceivers in fiber-optic equipment can pose dangers to personal
safety. Ensure that anyone who works with this StorageTek equipment
understands these dangers and follows safety procedures. Ensure that the
optical ports of every laser transceiver module are terminated with an optical
connector, a dust plug, or a cover.
