Inspecting a Cartridge

Improper cartridge handling is the primary reason for tape drive 

problems. To avoid losing data or damaging the tape drive, inspect the 

cartridges:
• Before loading a new cartridge in the tape drive
• After dropping a cartridge or subjecting it to physical shock

If storage or transportation of a cartridge has exposed it to 

temperature or humidity conditions outside the 

specifications shown in the preceding table, allow the 

cartridge to acclimate to the proper operating environment 

for 24 hours before using it.
