6 Upgrading and servicing the Tape Library

CAUTION:
A discharge of static electricity can damage static-sensitive devices or microcircuitry. Proper packaging
and grounding techniques are necessary precautions to prevent damage.
To prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following precautions:
• Transport products in static-safe containers such as conductive tubes, bags, or boxes.
• Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free stations.
• Cover the device with approved static-dissipating material. Provide a wrist strap connected to the
work surface and properly grounded tools and equipment.
• Keep the work area free of nonconducting materials, such as ordinary plastic assembly aids and
foam packing.
• Make sure you are always properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or as-
sembly.
• Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
• Use conductive field service tools.
