Electrostatic Discharge Information
A discharge of static electricity can damage micro-circuitry
or static-sensitive devices. To help prevent Electrostatic
Discharge (ESD), observe standard ESD precautions.
1. If the library is operational:
a. Using the Graphical User Interface (GUI) or the
application software, remove any cartridges from
the drives to prevent damage.
b. Exit the application software and, if necessary, stop
the software services.
c. Use the GUI to remove all the magazines.
IMPORTANT: If the library is non-operational, the
doors can be manually opened by pushing a stiff
wire against the mechanical releases directly behind the
front panel.
