The following guidelines and cautions apply to handling and installing
internal tape drives. Keep them in mind as you install the drive.
• Handle the drive by the sides rather than by the top cover to reduce
the risk of dropping the drive or damaging it during installation.
• Internal drives contain some exposed components that are sensitive
to static electricity. To reduce possible damage from static discharge,
the drives are shipped in a protective antistatic bag. Do not remove
the drive from the antistatic bag until you are ready to install it.
