Degaussing Instructions for DLT Media.
Remove the plastic protective cases. Simply follow the degaussing instructions above
for complete erasure.
Note: For DLT media that is to be re-used.
Although the data is completely degaussed in one operation, a second pass rotated at
90 degrees is required to smooth out any magnetic fluctuation.
Note
: If the second
pass is not completed, the tape drive may eject the tape from the tape drive and
indicate that the tape needs cleaning. The second pass at 90 degrees will correct this
condition.
