Safety and ESD
The following pages cover three topics that are essential to all service activity:
1. Safety
2. Preventing electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage to equipment
3. Rack-mounted library safety and precautions
Safety On-the-job safety is important; therefore, observe the following safety precautions
during all maintenance activity. Failure to do so could result in injury.
Remove all conductive jewelry, such as watches and rings, before servicing
powered-on equipment.
Be careful to avoid shocks when working near power connectors and supplies.
Power off the equipment being serviced before removing a field replaceable
unit (FRU) or other component. Remember that dangerous voltages could still
be present in some areas even though power is off.
NOTE: The disconnect device for the PowerVault 130T library is the AC
power receptacle, located at the bottom of the rear panel of the
electronics module.
Ground all test equipment and power tools.
Lift objects properly, as outlined under “Lifting Techniques.”
Enforce good housekeeping practices in the equipment area to help prevent fire
and accidents.
Lifting Techniques
Lifting, regardless of how much or how little, can create serious back stress.
Follow these guidelines to reduce the risk of back injury:
Do not twist your body to pick something up or put it down. Twisting puts
extreme pressure on your back, especially when you lift or carry objects.
Instead of twisting, make the task two separate moves; first lift, and then use
your feet to turn your body.
Plan the lift by examining the object and determining how it will be lifted and
where it will be placed.
Choose the appropriate lifting technique. Examine the weight, size, location,
frequency, and direction of the lift. Plan to avoid awkward postures and
determine if material-handling aids are needed.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage PowerVault 130T Service Manual
x4473D
Place your feet 31–46 centimeters (12–18 inches) apart and place one foot a
little behind the other. Keep your back straight, because even light loads can
significantly increase pressure on the spine when you lean forward.
Do not use a pinch grip to lift large or heavy loads, because this puts a lot of
tension on hand and wrist tendons. Whenever possible, grip the load with your
whole hand, and use two hands.
Keep the objects being lifted, lowered, or carried close to your body. The
farther away you hold an object, the more force it puts on your lower back.
Lift with your legs instead of your back. When you squat and lift with your
legs, you can lift more weight safely.
Alternate lifting tasks with tasks less stressful to the same muscles. This
technique ensures recovery time.
Using Shoulders, Elbows, Wrists, and Hands
Follow these guidelines to minimize the possibility of injuring your shoulders,
elbows, wrists, and hands.
Work within your safety zone—the area between shoulder level and knuckle
level of your lowered hands.
Bend elbows to keep loads close to your body and decrease the amount of force
necessary to do the job, putting less weight and pressure on your shoulders.
Keep your wrists straight and avoid bending, extending, or twisting for long
periods of time.
Use as much of your hands as possible when holding an object so you will not
have to pinch with your fingers. Alternate hands to give them rest.
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Anyone handling ESD-sensitive components must be aware of the damage ESD
can cause to those components and take proper precautions to prevent it. Handle
ESD-sensitive components only if you are protected against ESD. To meet this
requirement, always use an ESD grounding kit.
Precautions
Always take these general precautions when working with ESD-sensitive
components:
Wear ESD protection whenever you install, maintain, or repair electronic
equipment.
Keep ESD-sensitive components in their ESD-protective packages until all
preventive steps have been taken and it is time to install the component.
Do not allow anyone to touch or handle an unprotected ESD-sensitive
component unless that person has taken all ESD precautions.

PowerVault 130T Service Manual Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Reinstall covers and close doors when equipment is not being serviced.
If the grounding-kit work surface has been exposed to temperatures above 66°C
(150°F) or below 4.5°C (40°F), acclimate the work surface to room
temperature before unrolling it.
Place any removed component into an ESD-protective package.
Keep the grounding-kit work surface clean. Use a mild detergent and water, as
needed, and make sure that the surface is completely dry before you use it.
Periodically check the resistance of the ground cord and the wrist-strap coil
cord. The ground cord should measure less than 1.2M ohms , and the coil cord
should measure between 0.8M ohms and 1.2M ohms. Repair or replace the
cords as required.
ESD-Protection Procedure
Remember that each environment is different. Make sure that all concerns have
been addressed before working on equipment.
Preparation
1. Before opening the equipment, unfold the work surface completely and place it
on any convenient surface, such as a table or the floor next to the equipment to
be serviced.
2. Attach one end of the ground cord to the work surface using the snap fastener.
The free end will be attached in a later step.
3. Slip on a wrist strap making sure that it is comfortable but still makes contact
with the entire circumference of your wrist.
4. Snap one end of the coil cord to the wrist band; attach the other end to the work
surface where the ground cord is attached.
Accessing the equipment
Open the doors or panels of the equipment and immediately attach the free end of
the ground cord to any convenient ground point on the equipment frame.
Replacing components
1. Remove the suspect component and place it on the work surface.
2. Remove the replacement component from its ESD-protective package and
install it in the equipment.
3. Place the suspect component in the ESD-protective package emptied in Step 2.
Cleanup
1. Disconnect the ground cords from the equipment.
2. Reinstall all covers and close the doors.
3. Disconnect the coil cord from your wrist and the ground cord from the work
surface.

4. Properly store the work surface and other Field Service Grounding Kit items.
Rack-Mounted Library Safety and Precautions
WARNING: The PowerVault 130T Library, with four tape drives, weighs
approximately 68 kilograms (149 pounds). Installing or removing the
library from the rack requires at least two people. Be careful to
prevent an unbalanced condition that could cause the rack to become
unstable and tip over.
Review the following safety and handling precautions for rack-mounted
installations:
SFollow the manufacturer’s guidelines for positioning, supporting, and fastening
the library in the rack.
SIf the rack has a front door, there must be sufficient clearance to the front door
of the library, and sufficient ventilation to allow for cooling air flow front to
back.
SIf the rack has a rear door, there must be at least 10 cm (4 in.) of clearance
between the door and the library. A rear door must have louvers to provide air
circulation to the libraries. The internal rack ambient temperature must not
exceed the recommended library operating temperature range of 16 to 32_C (60
to 90_F).
SEnsure that the library, together with other equipment installed in the rack, does
not create an overcurrent condition, whether it is connected directly to the
branch circuit or to a power distribution strip.
SEnsure that all units in the rack have reliable earth-ground connections,
whether they are connected directly to the branch circuit or to a power
distribution strip.
NOTE: The library relies on the ground pin of the power cord for its earth-
ground connection.
