• Keep static-sensitive parts in their shipping containers until ready for
installation.
• Do not place static-sensitive parts on any metal surface. If you need to
put down a static-sensitive part, place it inside its protective shipping
bag or on a grounded antistatic mat.
• Avoid direct contact with static-sensitive parts. Avoid touching
connectors and discrete components.
• Close library door and access panel when not working on the library.
• Be very careful when installing the library or handling components in
dry climates or environments where cold weather heating is used.
Environments such as these with lower relative humidity have
greater potential to produce static electricity.
In environments with high potential for static electricity,
Note:
take additional precautions such as the use of an antistatic
smock or a grounded antistatic mat.
The following shows you how to label DLT/SDLT tape cartridges, as well
as setting the write-protect switch and proper orientation.
Labeling
Attaching a bar code label to each tape cartridge enables the library to
identify the cartridge quickly, thereby speeding up inventory time.
Place the label in the slide-in slot on the front of the cartridge (see
figure 17).
