WARNING!
Disconnected optical fibers or transceiver modules might emit invisible laser light. Do not stare into
beams or view directly with optical instruments when the switch is operating.
When you replace a transceiver module, make sure the two transceiver modules connected by the
same optical fiber are the same type. Do not touch the golden plating of the transceiver module.
