L180 Door Interlock

A safety interlock for the tape library is located behind the front door. When
this door is opened, the interlock immediately disables all tape library motors.

Electrostatic Discharge Damage Prevention

Before you touch any internal components in the library, including drives, you
must take precautions against electrostatic discharge (ESD).
CAUTION:
Components are sensitive to static electricity: Even a small electrostatic
discharge can damage an electrical component that is inside the library.
A damaged component might not fail immediately, but over time, it will
become worse and might eventually cause an "intermittent" problem. Be
sure that you touch an unpainted metal surface of the library before you
reach inside the library or touch the drives or optional interface
equipment.
Before you touch any internal components:
1. With your finger, touch an unpainted metal surface of the library. In some
libraries, you can touch the library's frame. In other libraries, you might
have to touch a bolt on the wall or on the door frame.
2. Keep your body movement to a minimum as you touch the drives or the
library components.
Antistatic wrist straps that have clip-on ends are commercially available.
