Caring for Your Tape Cartridges
Your data is valuable. Treat cartridges with respect so that they provide you with the
security you need. Follow these guidelines for handling tape cartridges:
Do not open the tape door unnecessarily. This may expose the tape to contamination
or damage.
Do not touch the tape or leader. Dust and natural skin oils can affect tape
performance.
Operating Conditions
Tape cartridges should be used in an environment within the following ranges:
Temperature: 5°C to 45°C (41°F to 113°F)
Relative humidity: 20% to 80% (non-condensing)
Caution If a cartridge has been exposed to conditions outside its operating range, you should
acclimatize the cartridge by leaving it in the operating environment for 8 hours before
using it.
Storing Tape Cartridges
Tape cartridges should be stored safely to ensure that they perform their desired role:
protecting your data.
Do not place tape cartridges near sources of electromagnetic interference, such as
under a telephone or near computer monitors, motors, video or X-ray equipment.
Keep cartridges out of direct sunlight and away from heaters.
Store cartridges in their plastic cases in an environment that is free from dust.
