 Do not affix any labels on a transceiver.
z A label indicating that the transceiver is a standard product from Alaxala or another manufacturer is
affixed to the transceiver. Note that this label is affixed where it does not affect heat dissipation of the
transceiver and mechanisms that prevent the transceiver from falling.
Affixing a label in such locations could cause the transceiver to fall or could damage a switch.
