NEO 200s/400s User Guide
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). The tape should make two passes through
the field at 90 degree orientation change for each pass to achieve complete erasure. Some
commercial degaussers have two magnetic field regions offset 90 degrees from each other to
accomplish complete erasure in one pass for higher throughput. Degaussing makes the
cartridge unusable.
If you burn the cartridge and tape, ensure that the incineration complies with all applicable
regulations.
