Installing an Internal Tape

Connector
• Avoid contact between the drive, other equipment, and clothing. The wrist strap only
protects the equipment from ESD voltages on the body; ESD voltages on clothing can
still cause damage.
• When the drive is not being used, keep it in its antistatic bag.
• Before you remove the drive from the antistatic bag, touch a metal or grounded
surface to discharge any static electricity buildup from your body.
• Hold the drive by its edges only. Avoid touching any exposed parts on the printed
circuit board.
• Always place the drive on top of or inside the antistatic bag to reduce the chance of
ESD damage.
