4.1.2 Handling
Damage to the tape system can occur as the result of careless handling, vibration,
shock, or electrostatic discharge (ESD). For more details about ESD, refer to
“Electrostatic Discharge Protection” on page 4-4 .
Follow these guidelines to avoid damage to the drive:
•
Always observe prescribed ESD precautions.
•
Keep the internal drive in its anti-static bag until ready to install.
•
Always use a properly fitted wriststrap or other suitable ESD protection when
handling the drive.
•
Hold the internal tape drive only by its sides.
•
Do not bump, jar, or drop the drive. Use care when transporting the drive.
•
Always handle the drive carefully and gently. A drop of ¼ inch onto a bench
or desktop may damage a drive.
•
Never place the tape drive so that it rests on its front bezel. Always gently
place the drive flat, printed circuit board (PCB) side down, on an appropriate
ESD-protected work surface to avoid the drive being accidentally knocked
over.
•
Do not pack other materials with the drive in its anti-static bag.
•
Place the drive in the anti-static bag before placing it in a shipping container.
•
Do not stack objects on the drive.
•
Do not expose the drive to moisture.
•
Do not place foreign objects inside the tape system’s receiver area.

AUTION

damage to the precision internal components. Do not
place hands inside the tape drive’s receiver area. Hold
the internal tape drive by the sides or the tabletop drive

lifted or carried in this manner.
