SECTION 3
OPERATION
INTRODUCTION
This section contains information pertinent to the handl-
ing, inspection, installation, and operation of the
TM362 and TM262 drives.
Each drive is shipped in a protective container which,
when bulk packaged, minimizes the possibility of
damage during shipment.
The following procedures give instructions for unpack-
ing typical single-pack and multi-pack shipping
containers.
3.1
HANDLING
The drive may be damaged if it is subjected to excessive
shock, and, consequently, not meet published perfor-
mance specifications for data reliability, margins, and
function.
CAUTION
Take care to prevent the drive from be-
ing damaged by electrostatic discharge.
As an additional safety factor, it is recommended that:
1. Drives are shipped only with heads positioned
over the parking cylinder.
2. Individual drives are handled carefully; e. g.,
receiving and in-process personnel are properly
trained, surface mats are used on working sur-
faces to prevent the possibility of "handling
shock' " and padding is placed on racks and
carts.

CAUTION
The critical aspects of handling these
drives must be emphasized. Tandon pro-
vides technical assistance on packing and
handling to customers upon request.
