Some components within the Quantum|ATL 7100 Series library
contain static-sensitive parts. To avoid damaging these parts while
performing installation procedures, always observe the following
precautions:
• Do not switch on the library during installation procedures.
• Keep the library power cord connected to a grounded power outlet
except when working with AC electrical components.
• Avoid contact with power supplies, EMI filters, and AC electrical
components while the library is connected to a power outlet.
• Use an antistatic wrist strap.
• Keep static-sensitive parts in their original shipping containers
until ready for installation.
• Do not place static-sensitive parts on a metal surface. Place them
inside their protective shipping bag or on a grounded antistatic
mat.
• Avoid touching connectors and other static-sensitive components.
• Keep library doors and access panels closed whenever possible.
Note: Dry climates and cold-weather heating environments
have lower relative humidity and are more likely to
produce static electricity.
