Before you begin
Handling guidelines
Because the drive unit can be damaged by electrostatic discharge, an electrostatic
grounding strap is recommended. This strap prevents an electrostatic discharge
from damaging the electronic components on or in the drive unit
If you do not have an electrostatic grounding strap, perform the installation at a
static-safe workstation. If one is not available, follow these guidelines as you install
the drive unit:
• Work in an uncarpeted area.
• To protect the
drive from static electricity, DO NOT remove the drive from its
anti-static bag until you are ready to install it.
• Before you remove the drive from the anti-static bag, touch a metal or grounded
surface to discharge any static electricity buildup from your body.
Caution:
If you touch static-sensitive parts of the drive (such as the printed circuit
board) electronic components may be damaged.
• Hold the drive by the edges only. Avoid direct contact with any printed circuit
board.
• Lay the drive only on top of its anti-static bag or return the drive to its bag when
you need to lay the drive down.
Caution:
If you substitute an ATAPI adapter card or longer cables, or if you chain the
tape drive to an existing ATAPI adapter or peripheral, the compatibility
and/or operation of the tape subsystem may be seriously affected.
