On the basis of these EMC certifications and other engineering data, these products carry the CE
mark. A copy of the current Declaration of Conformity can be found linked from the product
specifications linked from http://www.myri.com/myrinet/full_product_list/.
Please note that Myrinet-SAN (M2M and M3M) host interfaces and their associated cables emit
EMI in excess of Class A levels, and so should be used only for “in cabinet” applications.
Laser Device Safety
The optical-fiber transceivers used in the M3F-PCI64 family of products are Class I Laser
Products. Optical-fiber components with this classification pose no threat of biological damage,
and are considered to be safe.
Disposal of Components that Contain Lead
Myrinet host interfaces contain small quantities of lead in the tin-lead solder. Please dispose of
them safely. Disposal of lead-containing electronic components through regular trash channels
is prohibited in many countries and regions, because the lead leached out of landfills may
contaminate groundwater supplies. Myricom has proper channels for the disposal of these
materials, and will dispose of any Myrinet products returned for that purpose to Myricom.
