Tape Cartridge Maintenance
To greatly reduce the chance of problems with your tape cartridges or damage to
your tape drive, use the following guidelines.
Inspecting Tape Cartridges
Inspect your tapes to identify any potential tape cartridge problems and prevent
accidental loss of data or damage to your cartridges. Inspect your tapes:
■
When you change or load a new tape cartridge
■
If a tape cartridge is dropped or subjected to physical shock
■
If the tape drive becomes inoperable after loading a tape cartridge
■
If you receive a shipment of tape cartridges that shows any sign of shipping
damage
To inspect a tape:
1. Remove the tape cartridge from its protective plastic case.
2. Check the tape cartridge for obvious cracks or other physical damage. Look
for broken or missing parts.
3. Gently shake the tape cartridge. Listen for any rattling or sounds of loose
pieces inside the cartridge.
