Laser Safety Notice
This laser safety information contains certification and product information
covering laser products known as optical Gigabaud Link Modules (GLMs),
Gigabit Interface Converters (GBICs), 1x9 and small form factor transceivers
sold as accessories to or incorporated in Emulex LightPulse host adapters. The
GLM, GBIC, 1x9 and small form factor transceiver are the primary cable
connection mechanisms for any optical port on the host adapter and hub. This
data is not intended to be a replacement for any safety regulations and standards;
relevant safety documents should always be consulted if necessary. Contact
Emulex Corporation with any questions or concerns about laser safety.

Certification and Classification
LP6000 and LP7000E PCI host adapters may contain a laser product known as
an optical Gigabaud Link Module (GLM). The optical GLM is attached to the
host adapter using an 80−pin connector and extends through the mounting
bracket. In turn, the host adapter can be inserted into any host system's PCI slot.
The LH5000 hub may contain a laser product known as a Gigabit Interface
Connector (GBIC). The GBIC provides the physical connector to the optical
cable. The GBIC can be inserted into any pluggable hub port.
The LP8000, LP850 and LP9000 PCI host adapter may contain a laser product
known as a Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) or an embedded 1x9 transceiver.
The GBIC and or 1x9 transceiver provide the physical connection to the optical
cable, and its SC−style connector extends through the mounting bracket. In turn,
the host adapter can be inserted into any host system’s PCI slot.
The LP9002, LP9002L, LP952L, LP9002S, LP9002DC, LP9002C, and
LP9402DC PCI host adapters may contain a laser product known as a small form
factor transceiver. This transceiver provides the physical connection to the
optical cable, and its LC−style connector extends through the mounting bracket.
In turn, the host adapter can be inserted into any host system's PCI/cPCI slot.
In the United States, all optical GLMs, GBICs, 1x9 and small form factor
transceivers sold by Emulex 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 optical GLM, GBIC, 1x9 or small form factor transceiver.
