Warning: The primary hazards of exposure to invisible laser radiation from an optical fiber
communications system are:
ï Damage to the eye by viewing an unterminated optical fiber or fiber optic connector.
ï Damage to the eye from invisible laser radiation from viewing a cut fiber or a broken fiber.
Never attempt to view optical connectors that may be emitting laser energy and always avoid possible exposure to
invisible optical laser radiation. Using optical fiber scopes or magnifying lenses may increase the possibility for an
eye hazard. It is recommended that you use an optical power meter to determine if there is optical laser radiation
present or use a remote video display inspection tool to inspect connectors.
WARNING To avoid possible eye injury, use an optical power meter to ensure there is no
optical power in a cable connected to any Plexxi switch. Even if a switch is
powered off, passive optics in a Plexxi fabric may transmit eye-damaging
optical signals from neighboring switches.
! No user serviceable parts are inside the chassis other than the power supplies and
fan assemblies. Contact Plexxi for all repairs .
! Only qualified personnel should service or replace Plexxi Switches.
! The Plexxi Switch contains multiple separate power sources. Always make certain
that all power sources are disconnected before servicing the unit.

Use Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) precautions when handling a Plexxi Switch outside a data center rack.
Once the switch is installed in a rack, the mounting hardware provides grounding through the rack.

Observe the following guidelines to avoid electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage when installing or
servicing the Plexxi Switch.
• Minimize handling of assemblies and components.
• Assemble or remove equipment only in a static-free work area.
• Use conductive work surfaces (such as an antistatic mat) to dissipate static charge and wear a
conductive wrist strap to dissipate the accumulation of static charge accumulation.
• Keep replacement parts in their original static-free packaging.
• Remove all plastic, foam, vinyl, paper, and other static-generating materials from the work area.
• Whenever possible, use tools that do not create electrostatic discharge.
