4.1.3 Electrostatic Discharge Protection
Several electrical components of the tape system are sensitive to static electricity
and Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). Even a static buildup or discharge that is too
slight to feel can be sufficient to destroy or degrade a component’s operation.
To minimize the possibility of ESD-related damage to the system, we strongly
recommend using both a properly installed workstation anti-static mat and a
properly installed ESD wrist strap. When correctly installed, these devices reduce
the buildup of static electricity that might harm the system.
Observe the following precautions to avoid ESD-related problems:
•
Use a properly installed anti-static pad on your work surface.
•
Always use a properly fitted and grounded wrist strap or other suitable ESD
protection when handling the tape system and observe proper ESD grounding
techniques.
•
Hold the drive only by its sides. Do not touch any components on the printed
circuit board assembly (PCBA).
•
Leave the drive in its anti-static bag until you are ready to install it in the
system.
•
Place the drive on a properly grounded anti-static work surface pad when it is
out of its protective anti-static bag.
•
Do not use the bag as a substitute for the work surface anti-static pad. The
outside of the bag may not have the same anti-static properties as the inside. It
could actually increase the possibility of ESD problems.
•
Do not use any test equipment to check components on the PCBA. There are
no user-serviceable components on the drive.
