Installing Tape Cartridges

• Be very careful when installing the cabinet or handling components

in dry climates or environments where cold weather heating is used.

Environments such as these with lower relative humidity have

greater potential to produce static electricity.

SDLT Cartridges 2

The following section shows you how to label SDLT tape cartridges, as

well as setting the write-protect switch and proper orientation.

Labeling 2

The Scalar 50 is a multi-media library, meaning multiple drive and tape

cartridge types can be present in a single library. Barcode labels are

attached to each tape cartridge to differentiate the different tape cartridge

types (SDLT, LTO, and cleaning cartridges).

The SDLT cartridge label has eight characters (e.g. AAANNNS#). The

first six characters are called the volume identifier which is made up of

three alpha characters and three numeric characters. These characters

allow each cartridge to have a unique identifier. The last two characters

are called the media identifier and indicate the following media types:

•V4 = DLT-V4

• S1 = SDLT 220

• S2 = SDLT 320

• S3 = SDLT 600

•S4 = DLT-S4

Note: In environments with high potential for static electricity,

take additional precautions such as the use of an antistatic

smock or a grounded antistatic mat.

Note: Quantum highly recommends using barcode labels provided

by Quantum. Also, use the appropriate barcode labels for your

drive type. Do not use older barcode labels on tape cartridges

for newer drive types.
