speakers, or x-ray equipment. Exposure to electromagnetic energy
or magnetic fields can destroy data and the embedded servo code
written on the media by the cartridge manufacturer, rendering the
cartridges unusable.
• Place identification labels only in the designated slots on the
cartridges.
• If you ship cartridges, ship them in their original packaging or
something stronger.
• Do not insert damaged cartridges into drives.
• Do not touch the tape or tape leader.
• Do not degauss cartridges that you intend to reuse.
Write-Protecting Cartridges
All cartridges have a write-protect (write-inhibit) switch to prevent
accidental erasure or overwriting of data. Before loading a cartridge into
the library, make sure that the write-protect switch is positioned
correctly (either on or off).
• For LTO cartridges, slide the red or orange write-protect switch to
the right so that the padlock shows in the closed position. The
switch is located on the left side of the cartridge front. See
on page 692 for the location of the switch on an LTO
cartridge.
