Tape Cartridge Care

To make tape cartridges last as long as possible, store them in a clean environment.

Follow these guidelines for storing and using the tapes:

• Store cartridges in temperatures between 41 and 113

F (5-45

C). For longer

cartridge life, always store cartridges in their plastic containers in room

environment conditions of 65

Fto80

F (18

C to 26

C).

• Keep tape cartridges out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources.

• Stabilize the tape if it has been exposed to extreme heat or cold by leaving it at

operating room temperature for the same period of time (up to 24 hours).

• Store tape cartridges in a dust-free environment with the relative humidity between

20% and 80%. For longer cartridge life, store cartridges at 20% to 60% relative

humidity.

• Do not apply labels to the top or bottom of tape cartridges, particularly those for use

in the stacker. Incorrectly placed labels can cause cartridge jams in the stacker. Place

labels only in the slide-in slot on the front of the cartridge that is designed to

accommodate them. Do not use adhesive tapes or labels.

Observe the following precautions when handling or storing a tape:

• Do not drop or bang the cartridge. You might displace the tape leader, make the

cartridge unusable, and damage the DLT2000XT tape drive.

• Never place or store cartridges near electromagnetic sources such as terminals,

electric motors, video or X-ray equipment. Data on a tape may be altered or

corrupted if it is placed in such an environment.

• Do not leave a cartridge in a vehicle parked in the sun.

Tape Cartridge Write Protection

The tape cartridge has a write-protect switch that functions as follows:

• When the write-protect switch is moved to the left, the tape is write-protected and

the orange indicator shows.

• When the write-protect switch is moved to the right, the tape is write-enabled and

the orange indicator is hidden.

Figure 5-1 shows the write-protect switch and the indicator.
