Storage and Shipping Environments
Before using an 8mm tape cartridge, let it acclimate by placing the cartridge in the
operating environment for as long as it has been away from the environment, or
for 24 hours, whichever is less.
Acclimation is necessary for any data cartridge that has been exposed to a different
humidity environment or to temperature changes of 11°C (20°F) or more.
The 8mm data cartridge can be stored and shipped in a wide variety of
environments. Table 4 provides a description of these environments.

Operating in Harsh Environments
The 7208 Tape Drive is ideally suited to streaming operations, as opposed to
multiple stop-and-start, random-search tape operations. When the tape is used for
frequent stop-and-start operations, it is beneficial to still have as much streaming
movement as possible. This can be accomplished by ensuring that any save or
restore operation is the only active operation being performed.
Do not use as an archival tape any tape that has been used outside of the ranges
specified in Table 4 for an extended period of time. The magnetic and physical
strength of the tape will have deteriorated as a result of its exposure to the
environment. Do not store important data on such a tape; transfer the data to a
newer tape for reliable archiving.
