• Wear an ESD-preventive grounding wrist strap or observe similar
ESD precautions when working with the drive. Be sure the wrist
strap makes good skin contact. Do not remove the wrist strap until
you finish working with the drive.
• Before you remove the drive from the antistatic bag, touch a metal
or grounded surface to discharge any static electricity buildup from
your body.
• Avoid contact between the drive, other equipment, and clothing.
The wrist strap only protects the equipment from ESD voltages on
the body; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.
• When the drive is not being used, keep it in its antistatic bag.
• Hold the drive by its edges only. Avoid touching any exposed parts
on the printed circuit board.
• Always place the drive on top of or inside the antistatic bag to
reduce the chance of ESD damage.
Preparing the Mounting Bay
Caution: To avoid personal injury or damage to the server or tape
drive, ensure that the server is disconnected from the main
power supply while you install the drive.
1 Assemble the necessary tools and materials:
• Phillips screwdriver
• Your server manuals (for reference during installation)
2 Perform a normal system shutdown and turn off the server and any
connected peripherals.
3 Remove the cover and front panel from the server, as detailed in
your server’s documentation.
As you work inside the server, you may have to disconnect other
signal cables or power cables from other devices to maneuver the
new drive into place. If you have to do this, make a note of their
position and connections so you can put them back correctly later.
