Appendix B SDLTtape Cartridge Maintenance
Visual Inspection of DLTtape Cartridges
Quantum PX500 Series User’s Guide

• Never apply adhesive labels or POST-IT notes to the top, side, or
bottom of your DLTtape cartridge. Only use the user slide- in type
label provided with each cartridge and slide it over the label slot on
the cartridge.
• Do not carry cartridges loosely in a box or any other container.
Allowing cartridges to bang together exposes them to unnecessary
physical shock.
• Do not touch or allow direct contact with tape or tape leader. Dust or
natural skin oils can contaminate the tape and impact tape
performance.
• Do not expose the tape cartridge to moisture or direct sunlight.
• Do not insert a dropped or damaged cartridge into a DLTtape drive
without, at the very least, a thorough visual inspection (see
Inspection of DLTtape Cartridges
). A dropped cartridge may have
dislodged, loosened, or damaged internal components.
