Dropped Cartridges

Dropped Cartridges
Anytime a cartridge is dropped, there is a potential for damage to the case. Even if the
case is visibly undamaged, the cartridge leader might be jarred out of the home
position, which causes a load failure.
A dropped cartridge must be thoroughly inspected for damage to the case; and, if
necessary, the leader recovered to the home position.
Note –
If the drop was greater than 75 cm (29.5 in.), the cartridge, even if otherwise
undamaged, should be used only for a one-time data transfer, then discarded.
If, after full inspection, the cartridge is damaged, but load, transfer data to a serviceable
cartridge.
A dropped cartridge with visible damage that precludes normal loading into a drive, might still
be a candidate for data recovery. Contact your Sun service representative regarding damaged
data cartridge recovery options.
Use the following procedure to inspect a dropped cartridge:
1. Closely examine the entire case, front and back, for breaks and/or cracks.
If cracks and/or breakage is visible, the cartridge must be discarded.
2. Check all four case screws (1,
FIGURE 5-1
) for security.
If a screw post is broken, the screw might be noticeably loose.
3. Attempt to separate the case halves near each screw.
If a screw post is broken, the case separates slightly, even if the screw seems tight.
