Page 65: Environmental And Shipping Specifications For Tape Cartridges
Figure 12. Double-boxing tape cartridges for shipping Environmental and shipping specifications for tape cartridges Before you use a tape cartridge, acclimate it to the operating environment to prevent condensation in the drive (the time will vary, depending on the environmental extremes to which the cartridge was exposed). The best storage container for the cartridges (until they are opened) is the original shipping container. - Page 66 If your local, state, country (non-U.S.A.), or regional regulations are more restrictive than EPA 40CFR261, you must review them before you dispose of a cartridge. Contact your account representative for information about the materials that are in the cartridge. If a tape cartridge must be disposed of in a secure manner, you can erase the data on the cartridge by using a high-energy ac degausser (use a minimum of 4000 oersted peak field over the entire space that the cartridge occupies).

- Page 109 IBM Ultrium Tape Drive Located within the library, a data-storage device that controls the movement of the magnetic tape in an IBM LTO Ultrium Tape Cartridge. The drive houses the mechanism (drive head) that reads and writes data to the tape.
- Page 110 Light-emitting diode. Linear Tape-Open (LTO) A type of tape storage technology developed by the IBM Corporation, Hewlett-Packard, and Certance. LTO technology is an “open format” technology, which means that its users will have multiple sources of product and media. The “open” nature of LTO technology enables compatibility between different vendors' offerings by ensuring that vendors comply with verification standards.
