Follow these guidelines to avoid damage to the tape drive:

•Always observe prescribed ESD precautions.

•Keep the external 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 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, bottom 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.
