Maintenance
This appendix provides guidelines for handling DLT cartridges
and visually inspecting cartridges if necessary.
Handling DLTtape Cartridges
3
•
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.
