Hardware Implementation

2.1.3Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Protection

Various electrical components on/within the tape drives 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.

To minimize the possibility of ESD-related damage to the drive, we strongly recommend using both a properly installed workstation anti-static mat and a properly installed ESD wrist strap. When correctly installed, these devices reduce the buildup of static electricity that might harm the drive.

Observe the following precautions to avoid ESD-related problems:

∙Use a properly installed anti-static pad on your work surface.

∙Always use a properly fitted and grounded wrist strap or other suitable ESD protection when handling the drive and observe proper ESD grounding techniques.

∙Hold the drive only by its sides. Do not touch any components on the PCBA.

∙Leave the drive in its anti-static bag until you are ready to install it in the system.

∙Place the drive on a properly grounded anti-static work surface pad when it is out of its protective anti-static bag.

∙Do not use the bag as a substitute for the work surface anti-static pad. The outside of the bag may not have the same anti-static properties as the inside. It could actually increase the possibility of ESD problems.

∙Do not use any test equipment to check components on the PCBA. There are no user-serviceable components on the drive.
