PAGE 123
Maintenance Maintaining Tape Cartridges Note: In addition to the information provided in this section, refer to the documentation provided with your media for more information. Make it a practice to visually inspect your tape cartridges when loading or removing them from your library. Taking a few minutes to check the condition of your cartridges will lower the risk of operation and drive failures and help ensure uninterrupted backup. Repeated drive failures may indicate defective tapes.
PAGE 124
Maintenance Ultrium Cartridges Caution: Do not bulk erase Ultrium formatted cartridges. This will destroy pre-recorded servo information, and make the cartridges unusable. DLT and SDLT Cartridges In addition to the general inspection listed on page 123, you can further determine if DLT or SDLT tapes have been damaged by doing the following: ■ Verify that the spring-loaded hub (2 in Figure 74 on page 125) is centered within the circular opening on the bottom of the tape cartridge.

Troubleshooting 7 This chapter describes how to identify and resolve the problems that can cause an HP StorageWorks MSL Series tape library to malfunction.
PAGE 138
Troubleshooting Identifying Platform Problems An incorrect installation or configuration can cause platform problems. In this case, the library appears to be operating normally, but no data can be interchanged, or performance is poor. You also might or might not get an error code on the graphical user interface (GUI) touch screen. To identify an error caused by this type of problem, check your installation and configuration setup.
PAGE 139
Troubleshooting Performing Error Recovery Figure 78 outlines the recommended steps for error recovery. You should follow this chart in all cases. FSCs are listed in Table 11 on page 140. For general library problems, see Troubleshooting General Problems on page 169. TROUBLESHOOTING AND ERROR RECOVERY ERROR, FAULT, MALFUNCTION Determine Suspected Error Type PLATFORM No FSC displayed.

Electrostatic Discharge C To prevent damage to the system, be aware of the precautions you need to follow when setting up the system or handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor can damage system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage can reduce the life expectancy of the device. To prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following precautions: ■ Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.
PAGE 196
Electrostatic Discharge Grounding Methods There are several methods for grounding. Use one or more of the following methods when handling or installing electrostatic-sensitive parts: ■ Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation or computer chassis. Wrist straps are flexible straps with a minimum of 1 megohm ± 10 percent resistance in the ground cords. To provide proper ground, wear the strap snug against the skin.
