ESD kit
Use an ESD kit (P/N is available in General CE Tools Reference Summary, 5131-0075) to prevent damage
to ESD- (electrostatic discharge) sensitive parts in the 3592. See “Electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive
parts” on page 192 for information on using the ESD grounding wrist strap and mat. This tool (Figure 8 on
page 38) is not shipped with the product, and must be ordered.

Tape unit cleaner
Use only IBM tape unit cleaner (P/N 05H3929) to clean the 3592 tape cartridge and the drive bezel. Since
the IBM tape unit cleaner might not be available in your area, consider the use of tap water as a cleaning
agent.
Hook-and-loop fastener
The hook-and-loop fastener (P/N 19P0362) is used during installation of fibre channel cables on the
3592. Use this part to eliminate damage by isolating and supporting fibre channel cables in a bundle.

Fibre wrap tool
The fibre wrap tool is used during installation and diagnostic check of the 3592. This tool is to be used
only by the service representative. Use only the recommended fibre wrap tool. To keep the fibre ports at
the back of the drive and at the end of the cables and wrap tools clean, immediately insert plugs into
detached ports or cables.
The LC fibre wrap tool (P/N 11P3847) is used to wrap the Fibre Channel circuits at the drive.
