Page 42: Preserving Tape Cartridges
Designating Host and Diagnostic Workstations You must furnish the host and diagnostic workstations that communicate with the StorEdge L11000 library. Additionally, field service engineers may also furnish diagnostic computers when they service the library. Host workstations communicate with the library using a SCSI interface and the standard SCSI-2 command set. - Page 43 Keep the library power cord plugged into a grounded power outlet except when working with AC electrical components. Caution – Avoid contact with the power supplies, EMI filter, and all other AC electrical components while the library is connected to a power outlet. Use an antistatic wrist strap when touching the internal components of the library.
