or testing it:

Place a static protection mat on the work surface used for tape drive

components. Use a 1-megohm resistor to ground the static protection

mat.

Wear a static protection wrist band whenever you handle tape drive

printed circuit cards. Connect this wrist band to the static protection mat

or to other suitable ESD grounding.

If there is a cartridge in the tape drive, remove it before performing any

maintenance procedure.
