• Be very careful when installing the cabinet or handling components
in dry climates or environments where cold weather heating is used.
Environments such as these with lower relative humidity have
greater potential to produce static electricity.
SDLT Cartridges

The following section shows you how to label SDLT tape cartridges, as
well as setting the write-protect switch and proper orientation.
Labeling
2
The Scalar 50 is a multi-media library, meaning multiple drive and tape
cartridge types can be present in a single library. Barcode labels are
attached to each tape cartridge to differentiate the different tape cartridge
types (SDLT, LTO, and cleaning cartridges).
The SDLT cartridge label has eight characters (e.g. AAANNNS#). The
first six characters are called the volume identifier which is made up of
three alpha characters and three numeric characters. These characters
allow each cartridge to have a unique identifier. The last two characters
are called the media identifier and indicate the following media types:
• V4 = DLT-V4
• S1 = SDLT 220
• S2 = SDLT 320
• S3 = SDLT 600
• S4 = DLT-S4
Note:
In environments with high potential for static electricity,
take additional precautions such as the use of an antistatic
smock or a grounded antistatic mat.
Note:
Quantum highly recommends using barcode labels provided
by Quantum. Also, use the appropriate barcode labels for your
drive type. Do not use older barcode labels on tape cartridges
for newer drive types.
