andinstallinglibrarycomponents.Usea1‐megohmresistortoground
thestaticprotectionmat.
 Wearastaticprotectionwristbandwheneveryouhandlelibrary 
componentsthatareremovedfromtheirantistaticbags.Connectthis
wristbandtothestaticprotectionmatortoothersuitableESD
grounding.

Important
Adding drives to an existing partition can cause the library to reassign element
addresses. To avoid errors, make sure that when you install a new drive, you
reconfigure the element addresses your storage management software uses to
access the drives (refer to your software documentation for instructions).
