Handling DLTtape Cartridges
This appendix provides guidelines for handling DLT and SDLT
cartridges and visually inspecting cartridges if necessary.
•
Always keep each tape cartridge in its protective plastic case when it
is not in the library.
•
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 more than five cartridges on top of each other.
•
Always observe the proper environmental conditions for the storage
of tape cartridges. Refer to the cartridge reference card supplied with
each cartridge.
•
When placing tape cartridges in archival storage, make sure you
stand each tape cartridge vertically.
•
Avoid placing tape cartridge near any sources of high intensity
magnetic fields, such as computer monitors or electric motors.
