Tools required
To service a library, you might need one or more of these tools:
v #2 Phillips screwdriver
v Ground strap (recommended, if available)
Electrostatic discharge
Important: 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 these precautions:
v Transport products in static-safe containers such as conductive tubes, bags, or boxes.
v Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free stations.
v Cover the unit with approved static-dissipating material. If available, provide a ground strap that is
connected to the work surface and properly grounded tools and equipment. If a ground strap is not
available, touch a metal surface to discharge any static electricity in your body.
v Keep the work area free of no conducting materials, such as ordinary plastic assembly aids and foam
packing.
v Make sure that you are always properly grounded when you touch a static-sensitive component or
assembly.
v Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
v Use conductive field service tools.
Relocating your library
When you move or ship your library, it is important that the shipping lock is in place to prevent the
accessor from moving. This action also protects the library from possible damage. Before you relocate
your library, complete this procedure.
1. Remove all cartridges from inside the library.
2. Power OFF the library. This action aligns the robot with the shipping lock slot.
3. Remove any cables and terminators that are connected to the library.
4. Remove the library from the rack, if necessary.
5. Remove the shipping label (▌2▐) and lock (▌1▐) from the rear panel of the library.
