Taking ESD
Precautions
2
Components within the P3000 contain static-sensitive parts. To
prevent damage to these parts while performing installation,
maintenance, or replacement procedures, observe the following
precautions:
• Keep the library turned off during all installation,
maintenance, and replacement procedures.
• Keep the library power cord connected to a grounded power
outlet except when working with AC electrical components.
Caution:
Handle tape cartridges with care. Do not drop or
bang them, or place them near sources of
electromagnetic interference. Rough handling can
displace the tape leader, making the cartridge
unusable and potentially hazardous to the tape
drives.
Note:
Hosts without a direct SCSI interface require external
communications bus converters.
Warning:
Avoid contact with the power supplies, EMI
filter, and all other AC electrical components
while the library is connected to a power outlet.
