4.1 Handling Static-Sensitive Devices
Attention: Tape drives are sensitive to static electricity discharge. When handling a tape drive, wrap it in an antistatic bag to prevent
damage.
Take the following precautions:
Do not remove the drive from the antistatic bag until you are ready to install it.
With the drive still in its antistatic bag, touch it to the metal frame of an electrically grounded surface.
Hold the drive by the frame. Avoid touching the solder joints or pins.
Handle the drive carefully to prevent permanent damage.
