2. Ensure that the environment is free of conditions that could cause
electrostatic discharge (ESD). If possible, use an antistatic mat and
grounded static protection wristband during installation. If a mat and
wristband are not available, touch a known grounded surface, such as a
computer’s metal chassis.
Caution
Unless you have a self-maintenance contract with Exabyte, do not attempt to
replace any components in the library, other than the tape drives. If you do so, you
will void your warranty.
