APPENDIX B: DLT IV Tape Cartridge
B.1 Tape Cartridge Handling Guidelines
Ensure that your tape backup solution performs reliably by following both the
general handling guidelines described in this subsection.
•
Always keep each tape cartridge in its protective plastic case when it is not in
the tape drive.
•
When carrying tape cartridges in their cases, always orient the cases so that
the grooves in the cases interlock. This prevents the cases from slipping apart
and falling.
•
Never stack the tape cartridges in a stack of more than five.
•
When placing tape cartridges in archival storage, make sure you stand each
tape cartridge vertically.
•
Do not carry cartridges loosely in a box or any other container. Allowing
cartridges to hit together exposes them to unnecessary physical shock.
•
Always observe the proper environmental conditions for the storage of tape
cartridges. Refer to the cartridge reference card supplied with each cartridge.
The ambient operating environment for the tape cartridge is:
•
If storage or transportation of a tape cartridge has exposed it to conditions
outside the ambient values above, you should “condition” the tape cartridge to
its operating environment for a 24-hour period.
•
Do not place cartridges on or near devices that may produce magnetic fields
such as computer monitors, motors, or video equipment. Such exposure can
alter or erase data on the tape.
•
Never apply adhesive labels or POST-IT notes on the top, side, or bottom of
your DLT 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 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 any cartridge that has been dropped into the DLT drive without
at least a thorough visual inspection as described in this paper. A dropped
cartridge may have dislodged, loosened, or damaged internal components.
