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.
