Normal
operation
Equipment damage/Data destruction
Use only the following data cartridges. Use of any
other data cartridge may cause the DAT drive to
malfunction.
Equipment damage/Data destruction
Pay attention to the following when handling data
cartridges. If these precautions are not observed
the unit may be damaged or data may be lost.
l
Avoid using or storing data cartridges in the
following environments and locations:
- Environments subject to extreme temperatures
and humidity
- Dirty environments (cigarette smoke, dust,
corrosive gases, etc.)
- Locations that are likely to adversely affect the
magnetic tape material
- Locations subject to sunlight
- Locations subject to impact or vibrations
- Locations near heating equipment
l
When a data cartridge is not to be used for a long
time, remove it from the DAT drive, and put it in
its case. Store under the following conditions:
Temperature: 5-32
°
C (41-89
°
F)
Humidity: 20-60% (non-condensing)
l
Do not place data cartridges in an area subject to
liquid spills.
l
Do not drop data cartridges on the floor or subject
them to impact.
l
Do not open the tape cover or turn the tape reel
unnecessarily.
l
Do not force data cartridges into the DAT drive.
l
If the ambient temperature or humidity changes
rapidly, wait for the data cartridge to adapt to the
new conditions (at least one hour) before
inserting it in the DAT drive.
l
Each data cartridge has a long but limited service
life. This varies according to the operating
environment (temperature, humidity, dust, etc.)
and condition of the DAT drive. Generally,
replace data cartridges with new after they have
been used 75 times or after one year of use,
whichever occurs first.
