Checking a Tape Cartridge
Before you insert any tape cartridge, you should inspect it to ensure that it is not
damaged.
Refer to Appendix E for a detailed visual mechanical inspection procedure and other
DLTtape cartridge-related information.
•
Open the tape cartridge door and check the position of the tape leader.
•
Close the tape cartridge door and shake the cartridge, listening for a rattle sound.
Caution
If the tape leader is missing or incorrectly positioned or if you hear a rattling sound, the
cartridge may be damaged. Inserting a damaged cartridge into a tape system will damage
the system. Discard any damaged tape cartridges.
