Handling Tape Cartridges
The Scalar 10K provides extra IE station magazines and dust
covers for storing and handling purposes. This allows for easy
removing, handling, storing, and inserting of cartridges to
and from the library without library disruption.
Use the following tips when handling cartridges:
•
Remove dust on the outside of the cartridges with a damp
cloth.
•
Do not touch the tape leader.
•
Do not expose cartridges to moisture or direct sunlight.
•
Do not expose cartridges to magnetic fields.
•
Avoid unnecessary opening of the cartridge door because
this can expose the cartridge to contamination or physical
damage.
•
Do not drop cartridges or subject cartridges to physical
shock.
Storing Tape Cartridges
Use the following tips when storing cartridges:
•
While cartridges are not in the library, store them in either
their protective cases, the IE station magazines with dust
covers, or in individual protective cases.
•
The storage environment should not exceed temperature
and humidity requirements as described in the drive
manufacturer specifications.
