Change the GBIC Connector

A GBIC, or Gigabit Interface Converter, is a connector that offers a flexible
choice of copper or fiber optic media. A GBIC supports either short wave or long
wave optical transmission. These types are available:

Short−wave fiber optic GBIC with dual SC connectors•
Long−wave fiber optic GBIC with dual SC connectors•
Copper GBIC with DB9 connector•

Caution An Emulex supplied GBIC is required to maintain regulatory

compliance with worldwide certifications (for example, FCC,
C−Tick, CE, and so on).

A GBIC should be matched with its cabling to obtain optimum performance and
distance. For example, a short wave fiber optic GBIC best supports either

62.5/125 or 50/125 multimode cable, while a long wave fiber optic GBIC
functions best with 9/125 single mode cable.

To change a GBIC:

Exert slight pressure on the tabs.1.
Gently pull out the GBIC as shown.2.
Slide in a new GBIC, pressing firmly to seat the GBIC into the board.3.

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.

20

Emulex Drivers, Software and Manuals

In Europe, all optical GLMs, GBICs, 1x9 and small form factor transceivers sold
by Emulex are certified as Class 1 laser component assemblies that conform to
the requirements contained in the CENELEC (European Committee for
Electrotechnical Standardization) standard EN60825−1:1994 (including
amendment 11) and EN60825−2:1994. GLMs, GBICs, 1x9 and small form factor
transceivers are certified by a recognized European testing agency and have
appropriate markings on the assembly. The DHHS conformity label and
European conformity mark will not be visible externally once the optical GLM,
GBIC, 1x9 or small form factor transceiver is connected to or inserted in the host
adapter and the adapter is installed into a system.

Labeling Requirements

No caution or danger labels are required for use of the GLM, GBIC, 1x9 or small
form factor transceiver since they are Class 1 laser component assembly. In the
U.S., the only laser safety label required is the DHHS certification label that
already appears on the GLM, GBIC, 1x9 and small form factor transceiver. In
Europe, the EN60825−1/EN60825−2 standards require that the system−level
product has a Class 1 information label permanently attached and clearly visible
whenever access to the GLM, GBIC, 1x9 and small form factor transceiver
optical port is possible. Each Class 1 product shall have affixed an explanatory
label bearing the words:

Alternatively, at the discretion of the manufacturer, the same statement may be
included in user information. If a label is used, an example of the IEC Class 1
information label that is suitable for most European countries is shown below.
The label consists of black printing on a white background. Languages
represented on this label are English, German, Finnish and French, and they
represent the minimum set for acceptance of a Class 1 product in most European
countries.

GLM

The optical GLM is a single port communications card. Each
communication port consists of a transmitter and receiver optical
subassembly. The transmitter subassembly contains a semiconductor
laser diode of gallium aluminum arsenide (GaAlAs). This material emits
in the wavelength range of 770 to 860 nanometers for shortwave and
1270 to 1355 nanometers for long wave, and are commonly referred to
as short wavelength (SW) or long wavelength (LW) lasers. The discrete
laser diodes are classified as Class 3B laser products. Once they are
incorporated into the GLM, the product’s automatic power control
maintains the average power launched into a fiber at a value below the
Class 1 limit.

Emulex Drivers, Software and Manuals

Note OFC GLMs are found only on the LP6000. Any reference to

OFC or non−OFC products applies only to the LP6000, and
not to the LP7000E, LP8000, LP850 or LP9000.

For OFC GLMs (Open Fiber Control) the optical fiber link between two
GLM ports is continuously monitored by the open fiber link detection
and laser safety control system (OFC). In the event of a break anywhere
in the path, this control system prevents laser emissions from exceeding
Class 1 levels. For non−OFC links, the optical power from the laser
transmitter is controlled and maintained at a lower power level. The
power emitted from either an open fiber or open laser transmitter is
guaranteed to be below the Class 1 limit. Class 1 laser products are not
considered hazardous. No user maintenance, service operations or
adjustments can be performed on any GLM accessory.

GBIC

The optical GBIC is an integrated duplex data link for bi−directional
communications over multimode or single mode optical fiber. Each
GBIC consists of a transmitter and receiver optical subassembly. The
transmitter subassembly contains a semiconductor laser emitting in the
wavelength range of 770 to 860 nanometers for shortwave length GBICs
and 1270 to 1355 nanometers for long wavelength GBICs. For non−OFC
links, the optical power from the laser transmitter is controlled and
maintained at a lower power level. The power emitted from either an
open fiber or open laser transmitter is guaranteed to be below the Class 1
limit. Class 1 laser products are not considered hazardous. No user

maintenance, service operations or adjustments can be performed the
GBIC.

Small Form Factor Transceiver

The small form factor transceiver is an integrated duplex data link for
bi−directional communications over multimode or single mode optical
fiber. Each small form factor transceiver consists of a transmitter and
receiver optical subassembly. The transmitter subassembly contains a
semiconductor laser emitting in the wavelength range of 770 to 860
nanometers for shortwave length small form factor transceivers and 1270
to 1355 nanometers for long wavelength small form factor transceivers.
For non−OFC links, the optical power from the laser transmitter is
controlled and maintained at a lower power level. The power emitted
from either an open fiber or open laser transmitter is guaranteed to be
below the Class 1 limit. Class 1 laser products are not considered
hazardous. No user maintenance, service operations or adjustments can
be performed the small form factor transceiver.

1x9 Transceiver

The 1x9 transceivers is an integrated duplex data link for bi−directional
communications over multimode fiber. Each 1x9 consists of a transmitter
and receiver optical subassembly. The transmitter subassembly contains
a semiconductor laser emitting in the wavelength range of 770 to 860
nanometers for shortwave 1x9s. For non−OFC links, the optical power
from the laser transmitter is controlled and maintained at a lower power
level. The power emitted from either an open fiber or open laser
transmitter is guaranteed to be below the Class 1 limit. Class 1 laser
products are not considered hazardous. No user maintenance, service
operations or adjustments can be performed the 1x9 transceiver.

Usage Restrictions

Failure to comply with these usage restrictions may result in incorrect operation
of the system and could possible lead to points of access that may emit laser
radiation levels above the Class 1 limits established in the U. S. by the DHHS
and within Europe by EN60825−1/EN60825−2.

GLM

The GLM is designed and certified for applications using point−to−point optical
fiber links only. Use of the product with multiple input or multiple output optical
links (for example, star couplers) is prohibited since it is incompatible with the
GLM’s certification.

The GLM will not allow normal data transmission on the optical link unless it is
connected to another similar GLM or compatible laser product. For OFC GLMs,
another manufacturer’s laser product is not considered compatible unless it
contains the open fiber link detection and laser safety control system (OFC) and
is properly certified as a Class 1 laser product. Similarly, for non−OFC GLMs, a
compatible laser device must be non−OFC.

Any system level product that incorporates the GLM must provide power supply
protection that guarantees a voltage of 6.0 volts or less at the GLM. The
functional power supply range of the GLM product is specified as 4.75 to 5.25
volts typically. Operation outside of this range may degrade the performance and
lifetime of the GLM. The GLM will remain operational with laser emissions
below Class 1 limits provided the power supply level at the adapter remains at or
below 6.0 volts. If the power supply level rises above 6.0 volts, the GLM cannot
be guaranteed to operate correctly and could result in laser emissions that may
exceed Class 1 limits.

GBIC

Short wavelength and long wavelength GBICs allow normal data transmission on
the optical link when they are connected to another compatible laser product.
Short wavelength and long wavelength GBICs sold by Emulex as accessories are
non−OFC devices. For non−OFC links, a compatible laser device must be
non−OFC and certified as a Class 1 laser product.

1 x 9 Transceiver

Short wavelength 1x9 transceivers allow normal data transmission on the optical
link when they are connected to another compatible laser product. Short
wavelength 1x9s embedded in Emulex host adapters are non−OFC. For
non−OFC links, a compatible laser device must be non−OFC and certified as a
Class 1 laser product.

Small Form Factor Transceiver

Short wavelength and long wavelength small form factor transceivers allow
normal data transmission on the optical link when they are connected to another
compatible laser product. Short wavelength and long wavelength small form
factor transceivers embedded in Emulex host adapter are non−OFC. For
non−OFC links, a compatible laser device must be non−OFC and certified as a

24

Emulex Drivers, Software and Manuals

Class 1 laser product.

Any system level product that incorporates the small form factor transceivers
must provide power supply protection that guarantees a voltage of 5.0 volts or
less at the small form factor transceivers. The functional power supply range of
the small form factor transceivers product is specified as 3.135 to 3.465V
typically. Operation outside of this range may degrade the performance and
lifetime of the transceiver. The transceiver will remain operational with laser
emissions below Class 1 limits provided the power supply level at the adapter
remains at or below 5.0 volts. If the power supply level rises above 5.0 volts, the
small form factor transceiver cannot be guaranteed to operate correctly and could
result in laser emissions that may exceed Class 1 limits.

25

Emulex Drivers, Software and Manuals

System Level Certification

All GLMs and GBICs sold as accessories by Emulex or host adapters containing
embedded 1x9 or small form factor transceivers are certified as Class 1 laser
products within the U.S. and Class 1 laser component assemblies outside of the
U.S. Manufacturers of products properly incorporating the GLM, GBIC, 1x9 or
small form factor transceiver do not need to recertify their product for laser
safety. The procedure for full system certification is therefore identical to that
used for any other electronic system. When applying for system level
certification to electronic standards such as IEC950, the regulatory engineers
may want to see the DHHS and European conformity labeling on the GLM,
