Configuring and Operating the DLT4000 Basic Tape Drive

3.10 Preserving Cartridges
For longer life of recorded or unrecorded cartridges, store cartridges in a clean
environment with these conditions:
•
Do not drop or bang the cartridge. This can displace the tape leader, making the
cartridge unusable and possibly damaging the drive.
•
Keep tape cartridges out of direct sunlight and away from heaters and other heat
sources.
•
Store tape cartridges in temperatures between 10°C and 40°C (50°F to 104°F).
For longer cartridge life, always store the cartridge in its plastic container and in
room environment conditions of 72°F ±7°F (22°C ±4°C).
•
If the tape cartridge has been exposed to heat or cold extremes, stabilize the
cartridge at room temperature for the same amount of time it was exposed---up to
24 hours.
•
Do not place cartridges near electromagnetic interference sources, such as
terminals, motors, and video or X-ray equipment. Data on the tape can be altered.
•
Store tape cartridges in a dust-free environment where the relative humidity is
between 20% and 80%. For longer cartridge life, store the cartridge at 40% ±
20% relative humidity.
•
Place an identification label only in the slide-in slot on the front of the cartridge.
•
Do not adhere labels to a cartridge anywhere except in the slide-in slot.
