Appendix E
VISUAL INSPECTION PROCEDURE FOR DLTtape
CARTRIDGES
This appendix explains how to visually inspect a DLTtape Cartridge. Damaged cartridges
must not be used.
DLTtape CARTRIDGE GENERAL HANDLING GUIDELINES
Always keep each tape cartridge in its protective plastic
case when it is not in the tape drive.
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 the tape cartridges in a stack of more than five.
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 monitor or electric motors.
Never apply adhesive labels or POST-IT notes on the top,
side, or bottom of your DLTtape cartridge. Only use the
user slide- in type label provided with each cartridge and
slide it over the label slot on the cartridge.
Do not carry cartridges loosely in a box or any other
container. Allowing cartridges to hit together exposes them
to unnecessary physical shock.
Do not touch or allow direct contact with tape or tape
leader. Dust or natural skin oils can contaminate the tape
and impact tape performance.
Do not expose the tape cartridge to moisture or direct
sunlight.
