4.2.2 Handling
Damage to the SDLT 600 tape drive 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 4-3 .
Follow these guidelines to avoid damage to the tape drive:
•
Always observe prescribed ESD precautions.
•
Keep the internal tape drive in its anti-static bag until ready to install.
•
Always use a properly fitted wrist strap or other suitable ESD protection when handling the tape
drive.
•
Hold the internal tape drive only by its sides.
•
Do not bump, jar, or drop the tape drive. Use care when transporting the tape drive.
•
Always handle the tape drive carefully and gently. A drop of ¼ inch onto a bench or desktop may
damage a tape drive.
•
Never place the tape drive so that it rests on its front bezel. Always gently place the tape drive flat,
printed circuit board (PCB) side down, on an appropriate ESD-protected work surface to avoid the
tape drive being accidentally knocked over.
• Do not pack other materials with the tape drive in its anti-static bag.
• Place the tape drive in the anti-static bag before placing it in a shipping container.
• Do not stack objects on the tape drive.
• Do not expose the tape drive to moisture.
• Do not place foreign objects inside the tape drive’s receiver area.
4.2.3 Electrostatic Discharge Protection
Several electrical components of the SDLT 600 tape drive 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.
C
AUTION
Always handle the SDLT 600 tape drive system with care to
avoid damage to the precision internal components. Hold the
internal tape drive by the sides, or the tabletop tape drive by
the bottom. Never hold either tape drive by inserting fingers
into the receiver area on the front of the tape drive. Damage to
the receiver area may occur if you lift or carry it in this
manner.
