Electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions

Attention: Failure to take electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions when handling electronic components or cables can result in damage or functional disruption. One shall ground themselves prior to touching or handling electronics components or cables by attaching an ESD wrist strap or touching a conductive surface at the outer perimeter of the library frame. An example of functional disruption would be a momentary drop in the SAS link to a tape drive. If this were to occur while the tape drive was being accessed, the running job may stop. If auto recovery processes do not retry and complete the job, one may need to manually restart the job.
