VISUAL INSPECTION PROCEDURE FOR DLTtape
CARTRIDGES
This appendix explains how to visually inspect a DLTtape Cartridge. Damaged cartridges
must not be used.
DLTtape CARTRIDGE GENERAL HANDLING GUIDELINES
•
Always keep each tape cartridge in its protective plastic
case when it is not in the tape drive.
•
When carrying tape cartridges in their cases, always orient
the cases so that the grooves in the cases interlock. This
prevents the cases from slipping apart and falling.
•
Never stack the tape cartridges in a stack of more than five.
•
Always observe the proper environmental conditions for
the storage of tape cartridges. Refer to the cartridge
reference card supplied with each cartridge.
•
When placing tape cartridges in archival storage, make sure
you stand each tape cartridge vertically.
•
Avoid placing tape cartridge near any sources of high
intensity magnetic fields, such as monitor or electric motors.
•
Never apply adhesive labels or POST-IT notes on the top,
side, or bottom of your DLTtape cartridge. Only use the
user slide- in type label provided with each cartridge and
slide it over the label slot on the cartridge.
•
Do not carry cartridges loosely in a box or any other
container. Allowing cartridges to hit together exposes them
to unnecessary physical shock.
•
Do not touch or allow direct contact with tape or tape
leader.
Dust or natural skin oils can contaminate the tape
and impact tape performance.
•
Do not expose the tape cartridge to moisture or direct
sunlight.
