After you have filled cartridges with data, you may want to store them outside
of the autoloader to make room for additional cartridges. To maximize the
shelf life of your cartridges and ensure data integrity, follow these storage
guidelines:
! Store cartridges in a suitable environment. Follow the specifications for
storage temperature and other environmental requirements, as described
on the cartridge packaging. Do not allow the temperature and humidity in
the storage environment to fluctuate.
!
Store cartridges with the write-protect switch in the protected position . See
page 12 .
! Keep the storage location as free of airborne particulates as possible. To
eliminate obvious sources of particulates, do not permit anyone to smoke,
eat, or drink near the storage area, and do not store cartridges near a copier
or printer that may emit toner and paper dust.
! Store cartridges as soon as possible after you remove them from the
autoloader. Immediate storage helps avoid many of the conditions that can
damage tapes, such as temperature and humidity fluctuation, particulate
contamination, and excessive handling.
