Internal Tape Drive Guidelines and Cautions
The following guidelines and cautions apply to handling and installing internal tape drives. Keep them in mind as you install the drive.
•Handle the drive by the sides rather than by the top cover to reduce the risk of dropping the drive or damaging it during installation.
•Internal drives contain some exposed components that are sensitive to static electricity. To reduce possible damage from static discharge, the drives are shipped in a protective antistatic bag. Do not remove the drive from the antistatic bag until you are ready to install it.
