6 Upgrading and servicing the Tape
Autoloader
CAUTION:
A discharge of static electricity can damage static-sensitive devices or microcircuitry. Proper packaging
and grounding techniques are necessary precautions to prevent damage.
To prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following precautions:
• Transport products in static-safe containers such as conductive tubes, bags, or boxes.
• Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free stations.
• Cover the device with approved static-dissipating material. Provide a wrist strap connected to the
work surface and properly grounded tools and equipment.
• Keep the work area free of nonconducting materials, such as ordinary plastic assembly aids and
foam packing.
• Make sure you are always properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or as-
sembly.
• Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
• Use conductive field service tools.
WARNING!
The HP StorageWorks 1/8 G2 Tape Autoloader weighs 11.5 kg (25.4 lb) without media and 13.1
kg (28.9 lb) with media (8 cartridges). When moving the Autoloader, to reduce the risk of personal
injury or damage to the Autoloader: 1) observe local health and safety requirements and guidelines
for manual material handing, 2) always remove all tapes to reduce the overall weight of the Autoloader,
and 3) obtain adequate assistance to lift and stabilize the Autoloader during installation or removal.
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to equipment:
• Extend leveling jacks to the floor.
• Ensure that the full weight of the rack rests on the leveling jacks.
• Install stabilizing feet on the rack.
• Extend only one rack component at a time. Racks may become unstable if more than one component
is extended.
