STT8000 ATAPI Minicartridge Drive
Guidelines
Because the IDE Adapter card and drive unit can be damaged by electrostatic
discharge, an electrostatic grounding strap is recommended. This strap
prevents an electrostatic discharge from damaging the electronic components on
the card or in the drive unit
If you do not have an electrostatic grounding strap, perform the installation at a
static-safe workstation. If one is not available, follow these guidelines as you
install the interface card and drive unit:
z
Work in an uncarpeted area.
z
To protect the
drive and adapter card from static electricity, DO NOT
remove either the drive or the card from its anti-static bag until you are
ready to install it.
z
Before you remove the drive or card from the anti-static bag, touch a metal
or grounded surface to discharge any static electricity buildup from your
body.
Caution: If you touch static-sensitive parts of the drive, such as the printed
circuit board, or if you touch any of the components on the adapter
card and discharge static electricity, the components may be
damaged.
z
Hold the drive and the adapter card by the edges only. Avoid direct contact
with any printed circuit board exposed in the drive.
z
Lay the drive and adapter card only on top of its anti-static bag or return
the drive or card to its bag when you need to lay it down.
Caution: If you substitute other IDE Adapter cards, longer cables, or if you
chain the tape drive to an existing ATAPI adapter or peripheral, the
compatibility and operation of the tape subsystem may be seriously
affected.
