Chapter 3 Installing Your Tape Drive

Safety, Handling, and ESD Protection

SDLT 600 Product Manual 40

• 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.

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.

To minimize the possibility of ESD-related damage to the system, the

drive’s manufacturer strongly recommends using both a workstation

anti-static mat and an ESD wrist strap. When correctly installed and

properly used, these devices reduce the buildup of static electricity that

might harm the system.

Observe the following precautions to avoid ESD-related problems:

• Leave the tape drive in its anti-static bag until you are ready to install

it in the system.

• Always use a properly fitted and grounded wrist strap or other

suitable ESD protection when handling the SDLT 600 tape drive

system and observe proper ESD grounding techniques.

• Hold the tape drive only by its sides.

• Place the tape 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 surface of the bag may not have the same anti-static

properties as the inside surface. It could actually increase the

possibility of ESD problems.
