Safety

The following pages describe common practices concerning electrostatic discharge, 

fiber optics, and library safety.

Electrostatic Discharge Damage 

Prevention

Before you touch any internal components in the library, including drives, you must 

take precautions against electrostatic discharge (ESD).

Components are sensitive to static electricity: Even a small electrostatic 

discharge can damage an electrical component that is inside the library. A damaged 

component might not fail immediately, but over time, it will become worse and might 

eventually cause an “intermittent” problem. Be sure that you touch an unpainted metal 

surface of the library before you reach inside the library or touch the drives or optional 

interface equipment. 

Before you touch any internal components: 

1. With your finger, touch an unpainted metal surface of the library. In some libraries, 

you can touch the library’s frame. In other libraries, you might have to touch a bolt 

on the wall or on the door frame.

2.  Keep your body movement to a minimum as you touch the drives or the library 

components.

Antistatic wrist straps that have clip-on ends are commercially available.
