Shipping
Caution –
Data cartridge damage : Ship data cartridges properly.
If you must ship tape cartridges, especially if they are for remote system backup,
remote database duplication, or disaster recovery, follow these guidelines:
■
Save the original factory packaging. Use it, or the equivalent, to package tape
cartridges.
■
Wrap the tape cartridges in plastic to block moisture and contamination from
entering the tape cartridges.
■
Pad the tape cartridges on all sides.
■
Fill voids in the packaging with padding equivalent to the original padding, if you
are using factory packaging to ship fewer tape cartridges than the packaging
originally held, or if you are using other packaging.
■
Label the outside of the shipping carton clearly with text or accepted symbols that
indicate:
■
Do not expose to magnetic fields
■
Do not expose to moisture
■
This end up
