Cartridges

Cleaning cartridges

Use the universal cleaning cartridge. It may be used for up to 50 cleans.

Data cartridges

LTO 2 tape drives use LTO 2 tape cartridges. These are single-reel cartridges that match your drive's
format and are optimized for high capacity, throughput and reliability. Compatible media can be
recognized by the Ultrium logo, which is the same as the logo on the front of your drive. Do not use
other format cartridges in your tape drive and do not use LTO 2 cartridges in other format tape drives.
For optimum performance always use a data cartridge that matches the specification of your tape
drive. A lower specification will have a lower transfer speed and may not support write activities; a
higher specification will not support read or write.

Cartridge life

To avoid a backup failure due to worn media, replace the media (data cartridge) before either of the
following occur:
After one year of use
After being used 1000 times
The lifespan of media varies depending on the environment (temperature, humidity, dust, etc.) and
operating conditions of this product.
IMPORTANT:
The data cartridge is a replaceable part. Worn media can cause problems such as magnetic tape
surface damage, dirty magnetic head, many media errors, and so on. See also
