Internal Tape Drive Guidelines and Cautions

Before you remove the drive from the antistatic bag, touch a metal or grounded surface to discharge any static electricity buildup from your body.

Always lay the drive either on top of the antistatic bag or place it inside of the bag to reduce possible damage from static discharge.

Install LVD drives only in an LVD environment. Do not mix HVD and LVD devices on the same SCSI bus.

Due to the speed of the LTO-3 Tape Drive, it is recommended that a maximum of one LTO-3 Tape Drive be connected to one host SCSI adapter.
