Area of Application
The information in this document applies to the entire Tape Library. Additional safety
instructions for components used in the equipment are not invalidated by these
instructions.
Note: Other manufacturers’ documentation forms an integral part of the Tape
Library documentation.
This manual is intended for training personnel for service work and maintenance
work. Therefore, the hazard alert messages apply only to maintenance of the
equipment. Knowledge of safety rules for work on electronic and mechanical systems
is required. Only trained specialists (maintenance trained) are allowed to maintain
and repair the Tape Library.
Possible Safety Hazards
Perform a safety inspection before the normal inspection for a maintenance
agreement. Suspect that the library is unsafe until you verify that it is safe. If any
unsafe conditions are present, decide how serious the hazard is and whether you can
continue without first correcting the problem. Possible safety hazards are:
Electrical An electrically charged frame can cause serious electrical shock.
Mechanical Hazards, such as a safety cover missing, are potentially harmful to
people.
Chemical Do not use solvents, cleaners, or other chemicals not approved for use
on this product.
Repair any of the preceding problems before you use the library.
Class I Laser Product
The Tape Library may contain a laser assembly that complies with the performance
standards set by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for a Class I laser product.
Class I laser products do not emit hazardous laser radiation. The library has the
necessary protective housing and scanning safeguards to ensure that laser radiation is
inaccessible during operation or is within Class I limits. External safety agencies have
reviewed the library and have obtained approvals to the latest standards as they
apply.
