both read from and written to the cartridge. (This is the write-enabled
position.)
Remove the cartridge from the drive when not in use and store it in its protective case.
l
Avoid dropping the cartridge. This can damage components inside the cartridge, possibly rendering the tape
l
unusable. If you drop a tape cartridge, open the cartridge door and make sure that the leader pin is in the
correct position.
Re-tension a dropped cartridge before using.
l
Keep the cartridge away from:
l
Direct sunlight and heat sources, such as radiators, heaters, or warm air ducts.
¡
Sources of electromagnetic fields, such as telephones, computer monitors, dictation equipment,
¡
mechanical or printing calculators, motors, magnetic tools, and bulk erasers.
Expose the cartridge to dirt, dust or moisture.
l
Touch the tape media within the cartridge.
l
Bulk erase Ultrium tape cartridges. LTO tape cartridges have prewritten servo patterns that cannot be
l
reformatted by the tape drive. A bulk erase operation would make them unusable.
Use tape cartridges outside the specified operating conditions: 10° C to 45° C, 10% to 80% relative
l
humidity.
If a tape cartridge has been exposed to conditions outside the specified range, recondition the tape before
using in the operating environment by exposing it to the operating environment for a time equal to or
greater than the time it was outside the operating environment, up to a maximum of 24 hours. Then re-
tension the tape to stabilize the tape pack for better performance.
