Notes Regarding the Handling of Tape Cartridges

Notes on Affixing Tape Cartridge Labels
Tape cartridge labels that get loose or get into the drive may cause failures such as a backup operation suspension.
To ensure stable system operation, cartridge labels must be handled with care.
Beware of loose labels
●
If the label on the tape cartridge gets loose, the label may cause a failure by sticking to the robot mechanisms of the tape
library or to the tape drive.
Note the following points when affixing the labels.
• Make sure to use the blank labels provided with the tape cartridge or barcode labels that are recommended by Fujitsu.
• Keep the surface clean and free of fingerprints or dirt.
• Attach the label firmly on the specified location so that the label is affixed smoothly
without any wrinkles.
• Do not affix a new label over the old one. Make sure to peel off the old label and
clean the surface before affixing the new label.
Be careful since the corners of the labels are prone to getting loose.
Important
Beware of the label sheet getting into the tape drive
●
The blank label sheet may be on top or below the tape cartridge.
The label sheet may cling to the tape cartridge due to static.
If the tape cartridge is inserted into the library device in this
condition, a failure may occur.
When using a new tape cartridge, make sure that the label
sheet is not clinging to the tape cartridge.
Note that you may miss the label sheet if it is enclosed
