Safety
The following pages describe common practices concerning electrical safety,
ergonomics, rack installation, and electrostatic discharge.
WARNING:
Potential injury: On-the-job safety is important; therefore, observe the
following safety precautions. Failing to follow these precautions could
result in serious injury.
Remove all conductive jewelry, such as watches and rings, before you
access CRUs.
• Avoid electrical shock. Be careful when you work near power connectors
and supplies.
• Power-off the equipment before you remove a customer replaceable unit
(CRU). Remember that dangerous voltages could still be present in some
areas even though power is off.
• Lift objects properly; read the information in “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. If
you follow these guidelines, you can reduce the risk of back injury:
• Do not twist your body to pick up something or to 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: first examine the object and then determine 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.
• Place your feet shoulder-width apart, and place one foot a little behind the
other. Keep your back straight because even light loads can significantly
increase pressure on your spine when you lean forward.

xii Ninth Edition (I) 96006
• Whenever you can, grip the load with your whole hand, and use two
hands.
• Carry objects at elbow height and 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. Leg muscles are some of the
strongest in the body. When you squat and lift with your legs, you can lift
more weight safely.
• Alternate lifting tasks with tasks that are less stressful to the same muscles.
This technique ensures that your muscles have some recovery time.
■Shoulder, Elbow, Wrist, and Hand Safety
Follow these guidelines to minimize the possibility of injury to your shoulders,
elbows, wrists, and hands.
• Work within your safety zone—the area between shoulder level and
knuckle level of your lowered hands. You face less chance of injury when
you work or lift in this area.
• Keep your elbows bent to keep loads close to your body and to decrease
the amount of force necessary to do the job. If you use this posture, you
will put less weight and pressure on your shoulder.
• Be sure to keep your wrists straight. Avoid bending, extending, or twisting
your wrists for long periods of time.
• Do not use a pinch grip to lift large or heavy loads because the way you lift
also can affect the tendons in your hand. When you grasp an object
between your thumb and fingers, you put a lot of tension on hand and wrist
tendons. Use both hands—use one for a while, and then use the other—to
give them rest.

96006 Ninth Edition (I) xiii
■Rack Safety and Precautions
WARNING:
Possible personal injury:
•Lifting hazard: The library weighs 44.45 kg (98 lb) plus the weight of
the drives. Use at least two people and a mechanical device to lift and
position the library. Make sure you read the information in
“Lifting Techniques” on page xi before beginning.
• Also consider the library’s total weight when you are placing other
equipment into the rack. To prevent an unbalanced situation, install
the heaviest equipment on the bottom and the lightest equipment on
the top. Failure to do so might cause the rack to become unstable
and tip over.
Observe the following safety precautions when you are installing the library
into a rack:
• If the rack has front or rear doors, do not allow the doors to interfere with
the library’s ventilation. The rack’s internal ambient temperature should not
exceed the recommended operating temperature range of the library. The
maximum rack air ambient temperature is 40°C (104°F).
• Ensure that rack doors provide adequate clearance to the library.
• Ensure that the combination of the library with other equipment in the rack
does not create an overcurrent condition, whether the equipment is
connected directly to the branch circuit or to a power distribution strip.
• Ensure that all equipment in the rack has reliable earth ground, whether the
equipment is 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.

xiv Ninth Edition (I) 96006
■Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Damage Prevention
Anyone who handles ESD-sensitive components must be aware of the damage
that ESD can cause to electronic components and must take the proper
precautions to prevent it. Also, anyone who performs maintenance on
StorageTek equipment must complete an ESD-basics course.
CAUTION:
Potential damage to equipment: Handle ESD-sensitive components only
under ESD-protected conditions. To meet this requirement, always use
the Field Service Grounding Kit (PN 4711) and always follow these ESD
precautions and procedures when you are accessing StorageTek
equipment or handling ESD-sensitive components.
ESD Precautions
Always take the following general precautions when you work with ESD-
sensitive components:
• Wear ESD protection whenever you remove StorageTek equipment.
• Keep ESD-sensitive printed-circuit components in their ESD-protective
packages until you have taken all ESD-preventive steps and you are ready
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.
• Reinstall all equipment covers and close all equipment doors after you have
completed the work.
• If the grounding-kit work surface has been exposed to temperatures above
66ºC (150ºF) or below 4.5ºC (40ºF), acclimate the work surface to room
temperature before you unroll it.
• Immediately place any component that you have removed into an ESD-
protective package.
• Keep the grounding-kit work surface clean.
Note: To clean the work surface, use a mild detergent and water, and
make sure that the surface is completely dry before you use it.
• Periodically check the electrical resistance of the ground cord and the wrist-
strap coil cord.
Note: The ground cord should measure less than 1.2 MΩ, and the coil
cord should measure between 0.8 and 1.2 MΩ. Repair or replace the
cords if they no longer meet these requirements.

96006 Ninth Edition (I) xv
ESD-Protection Procedure
Remember that each customer environment is different. Address all the
customer’s concerns before you work on any equipment.
Prepare the Work Area
1. Before you access the equipment, unfold the grounding-kit work surface
completely and place it on a convenient surface.
2. Attach one end of the ground cord to the work surface; secure the snap
fastener.
Note: You will attach the free end in a later step.
3. Slip on an ESD wrist strap. Make sure that the strap is comfortable and
makes contact with the entire circumference of your wrist.
4. Snap one end of the coil cord to the wrist band.
Access the Equipment
5. Carefully open the doors to the equipment or remove the covers from the
equipment. Do not touch any internal components.
CAUTION:
Be sure that you are properly grounded before you touch any internal
components.
6. Attach the free end of the coil cord to the most appropriate place:
a. If you are working on components from a small piece of equipment,
attach the free end of the coil cord to the grounding-kit work surface. In
addition, be sure that you touch an unpainted metal surface on the
equipment before you touch an internal component.
b. If you are working on components from a large piece of equipment,
attach the free end of the coil cord to a grounding jack or to an
unpainted metal surface inside the equipment.
Replace Components
7. Remove the defective component and place it on the work surface.
8. Remove the replacement component from its ESD-protective package, and
install the component in the equipment.
9. Place the defective component in the ESD-protective package.

xvi Ninth Edition (I) 96006
Clean Up
10. Disconnect the ground cords from the equipment.
11. Reinstall all equipment covers and close all equipment doors.
12. Disconnect the coil cord from your wrist, and, if necessary, disconnect the
ground cord from the work surface.
13. Properly store the work surface and the other Field Service Grounding Kit
items.
■Fiber-optic Safety
WARNING:
Eye hazard. Never look directly into a fiber-optic cable, a fiber-optic
connector, or a laser transceiver module. Hazardous conditions might
exist from laser power levels that are capable of causing injury to the
eye.
Be especially careful when using optical instruments with this
equipment. Such instruments might increase the likelihood of eye injury.
The laser transceivers in fiber-optic equipment can pose dangers to personal
safety. Ensure that anyone who works with this StorageTek equipment
understands these dangers and follows safety procedures. Ensure that the
optical ports of every laser transceiver module are terminated with an optical
connector, a dust plug, or a cover.
Each fiber-optic interface in this StorageTek Fibre Channel equipment contains
a laser transceiver that is a Class 1 Laser Product. Each laser transceiver has an
output of less than 70 µW and a wavelength of 850 nm. StorageTek’s Class 1
Laser Products comply with EN60825-1(+A-11) and with sections 21 CFR
1040.10 and 1040.11 of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations.

1. Cable routing:
•Raised floor: You may install fiber-optic cables under a raised floor.
Route them away from any obstruction, such as existing cables or other
equipment.
•Cable tray or raceway: Place the cables in position; do not pull them
through the cable tray. Route the cables away from sharp corners,
ceiling hangers, pipes, and construction activity.
•Ver t ic al ri se len gt h: Leave the cables on the shipping spool, and lower
them from above; do not pull the cables up from below. Use proper
cable ties to secure the cable.
•General: Do not install fiber-optic cables on top of smoke detectors.
2. Cable management:
• Leave at least 4.6 m (15 ft) of cable at each end for future growth.
• Use strain reliefs to prevent the weight of the cable from damaging the
connector.
• Review all information in this manual and in any related manuals about
safely handling fiber-optic cables.
3. Connector protection:
• Insert connectors carefully to prevent damage to the connector or fiber.
• Leave the connector’s protective cover in place until you are ready to
make connections.
• Replace the connector’s protective cover when the connector is
disconnected.

xviii Ninth Edition (I) 96006
• Clean the connector before making a connection. Make sure that there
are no obstructions and that keyways are aligned.
Fiber-optic Cable Handling
Observe these precautions when you handle fiber-optic cables:
• Do not coil the cable to less than 96 mm (3.75 in.) in diameter.
• Do not bend the cable to less than 12 mm (0.5 in.) in radius. StorageTek
recommends that a cable’s bend radius be no less than 20 times the
diameter of the cable.
• Do not pull on the cables; carefully place them into position.
• Do not grasp the cables with pliers, grippers, or side cutters; do not attach
pulling devices to the cables or connectors.
• Keep cables away from sharp edges or sharp protrusions that could cut or
wear through the cable; make sure that cutouts in the equipment have
protective edging.
• Protect the cable from extreme temperature conditions.
• Install the connector’s protective cover whenever the connector is not
connected.
